Single-Cell Transcriptional Profiling Reveals Developmental Dynamics of Longissimus Dorsi Muscle in Adult and Juvenile Bactrian Camels (PRJCA049042)
The longissimus dorsi muscle of Bactrian camels possesses both biological and economic value; however, the cellular heterogeneity, lineage differentiation, and cell communication mechanisms underlying its skeletal muscle development remain unclear, which has hindered the precise regulation of meat quality traits and genetic improvement. In this study, integrated single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was performed on the longissimus dorsi muscle of Bactrian camels at 4 days of age (juvenile stage) and 5 years of age (adult stage).
