Pituitary transcriptomic study reveals the differential regulation of lncRNAs and mRNAs related to prolificacy in different FecB genotyping sheep
To explore the potential mRNAs and lncRNAs that regulate the expression of the genes involved in sheep prolificacy, we used stranded specific RNA-seq to profile the pituitary transcriptome (lncRNA and mRNA) in high prolificacy (genotype FecB BB, litter size = 3; H) and low prolificacy sheep (genotype FecB B+; litter size=1; L).These differential mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles provide a valuable resource for the molecular mechanisms underlying Hu sheep prolificacy
