Integrative analysis of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network reveals candidate lncRNAs responsible for meat quality in goats

Our analysis revealed the unique and common lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks of two kinds of adipocytes. Several lncRNAs that regulate goat meat quality were identified, such as XR_001918647.1, XR_001917728.1, XR_001297263.2 and LNC_004191. Our study utilized RNA-seq analysis to predict the functions of lncRNA on goat meat quality. Furthermore, our findings of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network, may contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying in goat meat quality and provide a theoretical basis for further goat molecular breeding.
