鸡microRNA的研究进展

Progress in chicken microRNAs

摘要:

microRNA (miRNA) 是参与基因转录后调控的一类重要的非编码小RNA分子。以下简要总结鸡miRNA的数量与染色体分布，同时概述了鸡miRNA对免疫、胚胎发育和病毒感染的调控作用，最后对鸡miRNA的应用前景也进行了简单探讨，以期为miRNA在禽业生产中的深入研究和应用提供参考。

Abstract:

microRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of important small non-coding RNA molecules, which participate in the post transcriptional gene regulation. In this review, the numbers and chromosomal distribution of chicken miRNAs, and the regulation and function of chicken miRNAs in immune, embryo development and virus infection were reviewed. Additionally, the applications of chicken miRNAs were also discussed briefly. We hope it can provide references for further study and use of miRNAs in poultry husbandry fields.
