- Abstract
Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) belong to a group of transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-derived fragments that have recently gained interest as molecules with specific biological functions. Their involvement in the regulation of physiological processes and pathological phenotypes suggests molecular roles similar to those of miRNAs. tsRNA biogenesis under specific physiological conditions will offer new perspectives in understanding diseases, and may provide new sources for biological marker design to determine and monitor the health status of farm animals. In this review, we focus on the latest discoveries about tsRNAs and give special attention to molecules initially thought to be mainly associated with tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs). We present an outline of their biological functions, offer a collection of useful databases, and discuss future research perspectives and applications in livestock basic and applied research.
