Project description:A comparative profile of miRNAs in livers during pigeon development was performed by using high-throughput sequencing. We identified known pigeon miRNAs, novel miRNAs, and miRNAs that are conserved in other birds and mammals.Our results expanded the repertoire of pigeon miRNAs and may be of help in better understanding the mechanism of squab’s rapid development from the perspective of liver development.
Project description:A comparative profile of miRNAs in pectoral muscle during pigeon development was performed by using high-throughput sequencing. We identified known pigeon miRNAs, novel miRNAs, and miRNAs that are conserved in other birds and mammals.Our results expanded the repertoire of pigeon miRNAs and may be of help in better understanding the mechanism of squab’s rapid development.
Project description:Deep sequencing of mRNA from the rock pigeon Analysis of ploy(A)+ RNA of different specimens: heart and liver from the rock pigeon (Danish Tumbler, Oriental Frill and Racing)
Project description:A comparative profile of miRNAs in pre- and post-differentiated pigeon SMSCs (SMSC-1d and SMSC-5d) was performed by using high-throughput sequencing. We identified known porcine miRNAs, novel miRNAs, and miRNAs that are conserved in other birds and mammals. Our findings demonstrated that miRNAs are extensively involved in the differentiation of SMSCs in pigeons, and provide a valuable resource for the pigeon breeding.
Project description:Hence, in order to investigate the gene expression profiles of skeletal muscle, we analyzed the four stages (1 day, 14 days, 28 days, and 2 years old) of breast muscle in White-King pigeon using transcriptome sequencing.
Project description:We identified 13,072 mRNAs and 19,129 lncRNAs, of which 2,977 mRNAs and 1,527 lncRNAs were differential expressed in pigeon BFs over three developmental stages.
