Integrated Analysis Reveals a lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA Network Associated with Pigeon Skeletal Muscle Development

Growing evidence has demonstrated the emerging role of long non-coding RNA as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in regulating skeletal muscle development. However, the mechanism of ceRNA regulated by lncRNA in pigeon skeletal muscle development remains unclear. To reveal the function and regulatory...

description Growing evidence has demonstrated the emerging role of long non-coding RNA as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in regulating skeletal muscle development. However, the mechanism of ceRNA regulated by lncRNA in pigeon skeletal muscle development remains unclear. To reveal the function and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA, we first analyzed the expression profiles of lncRNA, microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA during the development of pigeon skeletal muscle using high-throughput sequencing.

Functional enrichment and short time-series expression miner (STEM) analysis were performed to explore the function of the ceRNA network.
