New porcine microRNA genes found by homology search

Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) repress target genes at the post-transcriptional level and play important roles in development and cell lineage decisions. In vertebrates, however, both the targets of miRNAs and their expression profiles during development are poorly understood. Thus far, 326 human miRNAs, 249 mouse miRNAs, and 195 rat miRNAs have been identified. Even though the pig is a promising animal model in regenerative biology, as well as in livestock production, only 54 pig miRNAs have been identified. Here, we rep… Show more

“…Choi et al (2007) identified 177 miRNAs in the newborn mouse ovary and found that four miRNAs were downregulated approximately twofold in the mouse with a knockdown in an ovarian homeobox gene, a transcription factor necessary for oocyte differentiation. In 2006, Kim et al (2006) identified 58 miRNAs in the pig genome and confirmed the expression of two of these miRNAs in the porcine ovary using northern blot analysis. Ro et al (2007) identified 122 miRNAs in the ovaries of 2-week-old and adult mice.…”

“…Only reads with more than 15 bp were chosen for further analysis. These reads were mapped to miRBase V.20 (http://www.mirbase.org/) and were annotated by using BLAST (Kim et al, 2006). Reads mapped to mature miRNA were saved.…”

“…Initial research has focused on expanding the current miRNA database (miRBase) to include sequences for livestock species through evaluation of miRNA transcriptome profiles and homology searches (Kim et al, 2006;Coutinho et al, 2007;Gu et al, 2007;Feng et al, 2008;Shao et al, 2008). In addition, new sequencing technologies have advanced this effort by identifying new miRNA sequences through deep sequencing of the miRNA transcriptome in chicken models (Burnside et al, 2008;Glazov et al, 2008).…”
