The results suggested that Col3a1, Sgk1 and Insig1 were most likely to be the target genes of miR29c in the development of goose fatty liver, which was supported by the complete match of the 3’ UTR sequences of the genes to the core sequence of goose mature miR29c (note: Col3a1 had two matches, Fig. 3c). Here, INSIG1 is linked to Hepatic steatosis.
