Abstract: In the process of eukaryotic genome transcription,in addition to some protein coding RNAs,there are some different types of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) also participate in the regulation of complex life processes.In recent years,the emergence of whole transcriptome sequencing technology and the rapid discovery of bioinformatics have greatly promoted the research of ncRNA,revealing the important role of ncRNA in various aspects of the biological field.Including the treatment of tumor and other non tumor diseases in human,the development of embryo,muscle growth,fat deposition,immune response and regulation of skin hair follicle in animals have made great progress.The author mainly introduced the whole genome sequencing technology,the classification of ncRNA,the main mechanism of action and the application of ncRNA in livestock and poultry,it provided a theoretical basis for exploring the regulatory mechanism of ncRNAs in animals.

Key words: non coding RNA (ncRNA); whole transcriptome sequencing; livestock and poultry; application
