Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the importance of melanin in the meat of black-bone chickens, revealing how reduced pigmentation leads to economic losses in poultry production.
- - Using whole-transcriptome sequencing, researchers identified various types of differently expressed RNAs linked to melanin deposition, including mRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs, and miRNAs.
- - A competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was established to understand the interactions among these RNAs, highlighting key genes involved in melanin regulation in chicken breast muscle.
The therapeutic, medicinal, and nourishing properties of black-bone chickens are highly regarded by consumers in China. However, some birds may have yellow skin (YS) or light skin rather than black skin (BS), which causes economic losses every year. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely present in living organisms, and they perform various biological functions.
