Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals significant differences in MicroRNA expression and their target genes between adipose and muscular tissues in cattle.

The posttranscriptional gene regulation mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important role in various species. However, to date limited miRNAs have been reported between fat and muscle tissues in beef cattle. In this paper, 412 known and 22 novel miRNAs in backfat as well as 334 known and 10 nov...
