| dc.abstract.en | MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential regulators of gene expression, yet few comprehensive databases exist for miRNA expression in non-model species, limiting our ability to characterize their roles in gene regulation, development, and disease. Similarly, isomiRs - length and sequence isoforms of canonical miRNAs with potentially altered regulatory targets and functions - have received even less attention in non-model species, including the horse, leaving a critical gap in our understanding of their biological significance. To address these challenges, we developed an open-source, containerized pipeline for identifying and quantifying miRNAs and isomiRs (FARmiR: Framework for Analysis and Refinement of miRNAs), and an associated interactive browser (AIMEE: Animal IsomiR and MiRNA Expression Explorer). AIMEE was developed to make miRNA expression data more accessible and user-friendly, a feature often lacking from other expression atlases. These tools were developed using equine data but can be readily extended to other species. Using these tools, we aggregated 461 small RNA-seq datasets, spanning 61 distinct tissues, integrating data from public repositories, an American Quarter Horse cohort, and the Functional Annotation of ANimal Genome (FAANG) consortium Thoroughbred samples, predicting 5,781 miRNAs and isomiRs. This work represents the largest systematically curated atlas of equine miRNA expression to date, providing a valuable resource that will enhance our understanding of miRNA and isomiR functions in tissue-specific regulation and ultimately improve biomarker discovery, functional genomics, and precision veterinary medicine. | |
