Abstract

With the increasing development of deep sequencing techniques and bioinformatics tools, a large number of functional lncRNAs have been discovered. In this paper, a search of the NCBI PubMed and NCKI databases was conducted to select the functional genes that regulate muscle, fat, reproduction and immunity from the research literature of the past 5 years. The paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest research progress on the regulatory effects of lncRNAs in the transcriptomes of muscle, fat, reproduction and disease resistance, which are the key traits for improving the economic performance of the dairy and beef cattle industries.
