Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs in the longissimus dorsi Muscles between Fat-type and Lean-type Pigs

In this study, the whole transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle were analyzed to identify differences in gene expression profiles of mRNA, miRNA and lncRNA between LW pigs and DLY pigs, to uncover miRNA-mRNA interaction pathway and to construct mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA interaction networks. The data provided in this study may assist in deciphering the molecular mechanism underlying IMF deposition and muscle development in pigs.
