Abstract
- The double-muscle phenotype is an inherited condition in Piedmontese cattle traced to a point mutation in the myostatin gene. To investigate the potential role of muscle-specific miRNAs in determining muscle development in cattle, this study examined the patterns of expression of microRNAs (miRNA-1) and miRNA-206 in Piedmontese and Friesian cattle according to phenotype and sex. There were no significant differences in miRNA-1 expression between different muscle phenotypes, sexes or breeds, whereas there was significantly higher expression of miRNA-206 in female Piedmontese compared with female Friesian cattle.<br /> (Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
