Integrative analysis of miRNA and mRNA profiles reveals that gga-miR-106-5p inhibits adipogenesis by targeting the KLF15 gene in chickens.

gga-miR-106-5p functions as an inhibitor of abdominal adipogenesis by targeting the KLF15 gene in chickens. These findings not only improve our understanding of the specific functions of miRNAs in avian adipogenesis but also provide potential targets for the genetic improvement of excessive abdominal fat deposition in poultry.
