miRNA Sequencing of Longissimus Dorsi Muscle Tissue in Hanper Sheep

In sheep farming, the economic significance of meat characteristics is substantial, and advancing the genetic quality of livestock relies heavily on understanding the cellular mechanisms behind muscle growth and its regulation. This study examined miRNA expression patterns in the longissimus dorsi muscle tissue of Hanper sheep of various ages, with the goal of determining their biological functions and identifying miRNAs and their target mRNAs that influence muscle development and meat quality.
