Identification and Comparative Analysis of Long Non-Coding RNA in the Skeletal Muscle of Two Dezhou Donkey Strains.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been extensively studied in many livestock. However, compared with other livestock breeds, there is less research regarding donkey lncRNA function. It has been reported that lncRNA plays an important role in the timing control of development, aging, and death of livestock. Therefore, the study of donkey skeletal muscle lncRNA is of great significance for exploring donkey meat production performance. In this study, RNA-Seq was used to perform high-throughput sequencing of skeletal muscle (longissimus dorsi and gluteus) of two Dezhou donkey strains (SanFen and WuTou). The differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened between different strains and tissues. Then candidate genes for conjoint analysis were screened based on Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclope
