Research Progress on the Regulation of Economic Traits Related to Bovine Ruminants by Long-chain Non-coding RNA
Long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)is a eukaryotic transcript that is longer than 200 nucleotides and does not have the ability to code itself.It regulates the expression of genes mainly through transcriptional level,post-transcriptional level and epigenetics,and is ubiquitous in animal and plant genomes.lncRNA is a regulatory molecule that plays a key role in the growth and development,cell differentiation and disease occurrence of animals and plants.Compared with research in the medical field,the study of lncRNA in bovine ruminants is still in its infancy,especially in the regulation of economic traits related to bovine ruminants.In recent years,the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing and microarray technology has provided more efficient and rapid methods for the identification of lncRNA.Therefore,the author reviews the research findings,feature classification,post-transcriptional horizontal regulation mechanism of lncRNA and their research on muscle growth,hair follicle development and lactation traits in bovine ruminants,which lays a theoretical foundation for further research on the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA in the growth and development of bovine ruminants.
