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...
