Transcriptome profiling of Arabian horse blood during training regimens.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arabian horses are believed to be one of the oldest and most influential horse breeds in the world. Blood is the main tissue involved in maintaining body homeostasis, and it is considered a marker of the processes taking place in the other tissues. Thus, the aim of our study was to identify the genetic basis of changes occurring in the blood of Arabian horses subjected to a training regimen and to compare the global gene expression profiles between different training periods (T₁: after a slow canter phase that is considered a conditioning phase, T₂: after an intense gallop phase, and T₃: at the end of the racing season) and between trained and untrained horses (T₀). RNA sequencing was performed on 37 samples with a 75-bp single
