Identification and comparative analysis of the ovarian microRNAs of prolific and non-prolific goats during the follicular phase using high-throughput sequencing
Abstract The kidding rate is one of the most important economic traits for goat production, but the genetic mechanism that is associated with ovulation rate is poorly understood. Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) influence ovarian biological processes. The present s...

Abstract The kidding rate is one of the most important economic traits for goat production, but the genetic mechanism that is associated with ovulation rate is poorly understood. Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) influence ovarian biological processes. The present study provides the first comparison of the ovarian miRNAs of prolific Jintang black goats (JTGs) and non-prolific Tibetan goats (TBGs) during the follicular phase using RNA-Seq technology. We generated 11.19 million (M) and 11.34 M clean reads from the TBG and JTG libraries, respectively, from which a total of 389 known miRNAs were identified and 142 novel miRNAs were predicted. A total of 191 miRNAs were differentially expressed between the two breeds.

These findings will increase the current understanding of the role of ovarian miRNAs in the regulation of ovulation rate in goats. |
