June 2019 in “BMC Genomics” The study conducted on Koi carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) used Illumina sequencing and bioinformatics to analyze long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNA expression in black, white, and red skin. It identified 92 significant differentially expressed lncRNAs and 722 mRNAs, with specific lncRNAs and mRNAs up-regulated in different skin colors. The research highlighted the complex interactions between lncRNAs and mRNAs, revealing their roles in pigmentation through pathways like melanogenesis and tyrosine metabolism. The study expanded the understanding of lncRNAs in skin color genetics and provided insights into lncRNA-mediated pigmentation and differentiation in Koi carp.
