摘要
microRNAs(miRNAs)是长约22nt的内源非编码小分子RNA,在转录后基因调控中发挥重要作用。奶山羊是具有重要经济价值的产乳动物,有关奶山羊miRNAs研究相对匮乏,识别和鉴定新的奶山羊miRNA至关重要。文章以与奶山羊高度同源的绵羊基因组为参考数据库,应用生物信息学方法得到101条新的奶山羊miRNAs序列,并对其进行序列特性分析,为今后基因组信息不全物种的miRNAs挖掘与鉴定提供参考。
micro RNAs(mi RNAs) are a large class of endogenous non- coding small RNAs that average 22 nucleotides(nt) in length, which play important roles in post- transcriptional gene regulation because they can negatively regulate gene expression. Dairy goat is a milk producing animal with economic importance. The studies on mi RNAs in dairy goat are relatively lack and then detecting and identifying the new mi RNAs of dairy goat is very important. In this study, 101 mi RNAs of dairy goat were obtained using bioinformatics approach based on sheep genome, which was highly homologous with goat. Finally, detailed analysis of sequence characteristics in novel mi RNAs of goat were carried out. This study would provide a reference for further identification of mi RNAs in animals without complete genome.
