•The results showed that 1669 genes were differentially expressed.•Additionally, 346 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified.•The expression levels of 19 genes and miRNAs were verified by qRT-PCR. Breed improvement is an important genetic process affecting meat quality. Compared with Kazakh...
