Animal skeletal muscle growth is regulated by a complex molecular network including some non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). In this paper, we review the non-coding RNAs related to the growth and development of common animal skeletal muscles, aiming to provide a reference for the in-depth study of the role of ncRNAs in the development of animal skeletal muscles, and to provide new ideas for the improvement of animal production performance.
Keywords: circRNA; lncRNA; miRNA; muscle development.
