Abstract: Muscle participates in a series of life activities such as movement, coordination, and perception of the body.At the same time, livestock and poultry muscles provide the animal protein products for human.Different regulatory mechanisms in the process of myogenesis cause phase differences in muscle development, and the entire muscle development is mainly reflected in the developmental state of two periods (embryonic and post-natal).Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a type of RNA with a length greater than 200 nt that does not have the ability to encode proteins.In recent years, with the rapid development of genomics and molecular biology technology, lncRNA has been found to be widely involved in various stages of muscle development, regulating muscle development with multiple mechanisms of action.In this article, the present finding of lncRNAs that related to muscle development and their mechanisms of action were reviewed, and their important role in different stages of muscle development were explained, thus providing a reference for further study of lncRNAs related to muscle development.

Key words: muscle development; different stages; lncRNA; regulatory mechanism
