The mechanisms governing gene regulation in domestic Yuzhong pigeon breast muscle development remain largely elusive. Here, we conducted a comparative analysis using Iso-seq and RNA-seq data from domestic Yuzhong pigeons and European meat pigeons to uncover signaling pathways and genes involved in breast muscle development. The Iso-seq data from domestic Yuzhong pigeons yielded 131,377,075 subreads, resulting in 16,587 non-redundant high-quality full-length transcripts post-correction. Furthermore, utilizing pfam, CPC, PLEK, and CPAT, we predicted 5575, 4973, 2333, and 4336 lncRNAs, respectively. Notably, several genes potentially implicated in breast muscle development were identified, including tropomyosin beta chain, myosin regulatory light chain 2, and myosin binding protein C. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed critical signaling pathways in breast muscle development, spanning carbon metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, estrogen signaling, PI3K-AKT signaling, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, oxidative phosphorylation, pentose phosphate pathway, fructose and mannose metabolism, and tight junctions. These findings offer insights into the biological processes driving breast muscle development in domestic Yuzhong pigeon, contributing to our understanding of this complex phenomenon. |
