MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. In sheep, few miRNAs have been described compared with other livestock species. We uniformly analyzed 172 public ovine miRNA-seq datasets from 21 different tissues in order to predict conserved and novel miRNA precursors and profile their expression patterns. 270 miRNAs showed high tissue specificity index values. Strikingly, over 100 precursors from the ruminant-specific family of mir- 2284/mir-2285 miRNAs were found. This work supports the known high evolutionary conservation of many miRNAs, but also highlights the potential of clade-specific innovations in ruminant evolution.
