RNA-seq analysis reveals the critical role of the novel lncRNA BIANCR in intramuscular adipogenesis through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

This study obtained the landscape of lncRNAs during adipogenesis in bovine intramuscular adipocytes. BIANCR plays a crucial role in adipogenesis through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. The results are noteworthy for improving beef meat quality, molecular breeding, and metabolic disease research.
