Domestic animals show considerable genetic diversity. Previous studies suggested that animal phenotypes were affected by miRNA-mRNA interplay, but these studies focused mainly on the analysis of one or several miRNA-mRNA interactions. Whereas in this study, we present miRNA-mRNA and miRNA-lncRNA interactions on genome scale by using the miRanda and TargetScan algorithms. There has been strong directional artificial selection practiced during the domestication of animals. Thus, we investigated the SNPs that were located in miRNAs and miRNA binding sites and found several SNPs located in 3’-UTR of mRNA had potential to disturb the miRNA-mRNA interactions.
