Background The amount of intramuscular fat can influence the sensory characteristics and
nutritional value of beef, thus the selection of animals with adequate fat deposition is …

Fat deposition is an important economic trait in farm animals. However, it is difficult to
genetically improve intramuscular fat deposition via trait‐based cattle breeding. The main …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) is one of the most critical parameters affecting meat quality and
mainly affected by genetic factors. MicroRNA as an important regulatory factor, which is still …

Intramuscular fat refers to the adipose tissue distributed in the muscle. It is an important
indicator that affects the quality of goat meat, and can directly affect the tenderness and …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs found to regulate several
biological processes including adipogenesis. Understanding adipose tissue regulation is …

MicroRNA (miRNA) is endogenous non-coding RNA that has been proposed to play an
important role in the formation of body fat. However, the differential expression of miRNA …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is vital for pork quality, serving an important role in economic
performance in pig industry. Non-coding RNAs, with mRNAs, are involved in IMF deposition; …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that have been shown to play
important post-transcriptional regulatory roles in the growth and development of skeletal …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression, potentially affecting several
biological processes, whose function can be altered by sequence variation. Hence, the …

In this review, we highlight information on microRNA (miRNA) identification and functional
characterization in the beef for muscle and carcass composition traits, with an emphasis on …
