Sheep, cows, cats, and rabbits are kept by humans for agricultural purposes and as
companion animals. Much of the mammary research in these species has focussed on …

CircRNA is a specific type of non-coding RNA that has been shown to have an important
role in mammary gland (MG) activity, but no study of MG circRNA activity in sheep so far. In …

To understand how genes precisely regulate lactation physiological activity and the
molecular genetic mechanisms underlying mammary gland involution, this study …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in mammary gland
development and lactation in livestock. Little is known about the roles of miRNAs in ovine …

Background In this work we aimed at sequencing and assembling the goat milk
transcriptome corresponding at colostrum and 120 days of lactation. To reconstruct …

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) play a critical role in mammary development and breast
cancer biology. Despite their important role in the mammary gland, little is known of the roles …

Circular RNAs are a class of noncoding RNA with a widespread occurrence in eukaryote
tissues, and with some having been demonstrated to have clear biological function. In …

Ruminants have a very special niche in the animal kingdom, and are the most important
livestock species providing milk, meat, and wool for humans from consumption of highly …

This is the first study to compare the effects of parturition time and photoperiod on milk yield,
quality, and somatic cell count (SCC) traits in pure and crossbred doe genotypes reared with …

RNA-Seq enables the generation of extensive transcriptome information providing the
capability to characterize transcripts (including alternative isoforms and polymorphism), to …
