Therefore, the study of donkey skeletal muscle lncRNA is of great significance for exploring donkey meat production performance. In this study, RNA-Seq was used to perform high-throughput sequencing of skeletal muscle (longissimus dorsi and gluteus) of two Dezhou donkey strains (SanFen and WuTou). The differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened between different strains and tissues. Then candidate genes for conjoint analysis were screened based on Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Finally, the accuracy of the sequencing data was verified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Herein, we identified 3869 novel lncRNAs and 70 differentially expressed lncRNAs. Through the comparison between groups, the specific expression of lncRNAs were found in different strains and muscle tissues.
