Identification and abundance of miRNA in chicken hypothalamus tissue determined by Solexa sequencing
“Identification and abundance of miRNA in chicken hypothalamus tissue determined by Solexa sequencing”, vol. 11, pp. 4682-4694, 2012.
, We used Solexa sequencing technology to identify and determine the abundance of miRNAs and compared the characteristics and expression patterns of miRNA of 1-day-old and 36-week-old chicken hypothalamuses. We obtained 17,825,753 and 10,928,745 high-quality reads from 36-week-old and 1-day-old chickens, respectively. Three hundred and seventy-one conserved miRNAs were expressed in both libraries. Among the conserved miRNAs, 22 miRNAs were up-regulated and 157 miRNAs were down-regulated in the 36-week-old chicken hypothalamus tissues.
