Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle fibers are primarily categorized into oxidative and glycolytic fibers, and the ratios of different myofiber types are important factors in determining livestock meat quality. However, the molecular mechanism for determining muscle fiber types in chickens was hardly understood. In this study, we used RNA sequencing to systematically compare mRNA and microRNA transcriptomes of the oxidative muscle...
