Identification and characterization of microRNAs in the liver of yak (Bos grunniens) associated with energy deficiency at high-altitude
This is the first, at the best of our knowledge, liver miRNA-seq profiling analysis of moderate yak cows subjected to the combined effects of cold and nutritional stress at high altitude. Tissue specific miR-122 and liver enriched bta-let-7f represent two of the most abundant miRNAs found in the liver of yak cows. These findings enhance our understanding of the role of hepatic miRNAs in energy deficiency in yaks during winter grazing at high altitudes.
