microRNAs revealed regulation of intramuscular fat deposition in Nelore Cattle. Differentially expressed microRNAs

In this study, several genes and miRNAs were identified as possible regulators of IMF by analyzing DE miRNAs and using different strategies for identification of miRNAs-mRNAs co-expression networks. This study contributes to our understanding of regulatory mechanisms of gene signaling networks involved in fat deposition process. Glucose metabolism and immune system were the main pathways found in integrative mRNAs-miRNAs analysis and showed to influence intramuscular fat content in beef cattle.
