Porcine salivary miRNA sequencing
This study aims to investigate the miRNA profile present in porcine saliva using next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression and are known to be involved in various biological processes, including immune responses, development, and disease progression. By analyzing the salivary miRNA in pigs, this study seeks to identify specific miRNA markers that could be used for non-invasive diagnostics, health monitoring, and understanding of disease mechanisms in porcine species. The results from this study could also contribute to comparative biology by linking miRNA functions across species.
