Transcriptome Sequencing Unveils a Novel Mechanism Underlying Breed Distinctions Between Thin- and Fat-Tailed Sheep
This study confirms that the lncRNA-mRNA-miRNA regulatory axis is a key pathway in tail fat formation, providing important theoretical support and molecular targets for genetic improvement of ovine tail fat deposition traits.
