Transcriptome analysis reveals long intergenic non-coding RNAs involved in skeletal muscle growth and development in pig

Abstract Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) play essential roles in numerous biological processes and are widely studied. The skeletal muscle is an important tissue that plays an essential role in individual movement ability. However, lincRNAs in pig skeletal muscles are largely undiscovered...
