Abstract: Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) constituted a novel class of non-protein coding transcripts longer than 200 nt,and were localized in nuclear and cytoplasmic.LncRNA can regulate gene expression in cis and trans,were recognized as a kind of key regulatory molecules.LncRNA were involved in various aspects of cell biology and disease,such as cell differentiation,X chromosome inactivation,cancer,immune,neurological and cardiovascular system disorders.In this paper,we mainly summarized the origions,research status and action mechanism of LncRNA,as well as overseas and domestic research status of LncRNA in animal husbandry and veterinary.Finally,the potential research and application prospects of LncRNA in animal science were put forward.

Key words: long non-coding RNA; gene expression regulation; development; immune
