Gga-let-7c is a microRNA (miRNA) that is prominently expressed in chicken breast muscle libraries, indicating its potential regulatory importance in muscle tissue [PMC4519947]. This miRNA, a member of the let-7 family, was identified with a significant number of isoforms, with 26 different isoforms of gga-let-7c being reported [PMC4519947]. Among these isoforms, the most abundant ones are consistent with the sequences found in miRBase, suggesting that these are the canonical forms of gga-let-7c [PMC4519947]. The let-7 family overall is abundantly expressed in breast muscle libraries and gga-let-7c is one of the five let-7 members that rank among the top 20 most abundant miRNAs in this tissue [PMC4519947]. In addition to its expression in muscle tissue, gga-let-7c also shows differential expression patterns during viral infections and reproductive development; it was differentially expressed in chicken lungs and trachea infected with avian influenza virus [PMC5389138] and was found to be down-regulated in chicken ovaries compared to testes [PMC3526641].
