Abstract:

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs with longer in length than 200 nucleotides that function is multifaceted in epigenetic regulation,transcriptional regulation and post-transcriptional regulation.LncRNAs have important roles in many biological processes including cell proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis.In recent years,more and more attention has been paid to the research of lncRNAs in farm animals.It is found that lncRNAs play important role in the growth and development of animals.In this review,we highlight the advances on the high throughput screening,identification,expression,evolution and function of lncRNAs in important farm animal species,such as pig,chicken,sheep and cattle in the past 15 years.
