| Summary: | The recent advances in the field of aquaculture over the last decade has helped the
cultured-fish industry production sector to identify problems and choose the best
approaches to achieve high-volume production. Understanding the emerging
roles of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) in the regulation of fish physiology and health
will assist in gaining knowledge on the possible applications of ncRNAs for the
advancement of aquaculture. There is information available on the practical considerations
of epigenetic mechanisms like DNA methylation, histone modification
and ncRNAs, such as microRNA in aquaculture, for both fish and shellfish.
Among the non-coding RNAs, PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) is 24–31 bp long
transcripts, which is primarily involved in silencing the germline transposons.
Besides, the burgeoning reports and studies establish piRNAs’ role in various
aspects of biology. Till date, there are no reviews that summarize the recent findings
available on piRNAs in animal models, especially on piRNAs biogenesis and
biological action. To gain a better understanding and get an overview on the process
of piRNA genesis among the different animals, this work reviews the literature
available on the processes of piRNA biogenesis in animal models with special
reference to aquatic animal model zebrafish. This review also presents a short discussion
and prospects of piRNA’s application in relevance to the aquaculture
industry. |
