Oocyte maturation plays a vitally important role in the reproduction of pigs. However, the roles of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the developmental process of porcine oocyte maturation are still largely unclear. In this study, a transcriptome analysis of germinal vesicle (GV) and metaphase II (MII) of oocytes from Chinese Duroc pigs was performed. A total of 1,753,030 and 2,486 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, 22,811 and 9,868 DE lncRNAs were identified between GV and MII stages, respectively. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis showed that the common DE mRNAs and DE lncRNAs during the process of maturation were mainly involved in biological process and cellular components. Our study provides new insights of the expression changes of mRNAs and lncRNAs during GV and MII stages, which might contribute to the maturation of oocytes. These results greatly improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating the maturation of oocytes in pigs.

Wool growth and fineness regulation is influenced by some factors such as genetics and environment. At the same time, lncRNA participates in numerous biological processes in animal production. In this research, we conducted a thorough analysis and characterization of the microstructure of wool, along with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), their target genes, associated pathways, and Gene Ontology terms pertinent to the wool fineness development.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays important roles in animals and plants. In filamentous fungi, however, their biological function in infection stage has been poorly studied. Here, we investigated the landscape and regulation of lncRNA in the filamentous plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea by strand-specific RNA-seq of multiple infection stages.

Transcription takes place over a significant portion of the human genome. However, only a small portion of the transcriptome, roughly 1.2%, consists of RNAs translated into proteins; the majority of transcripts, on the other hand, comprise a variety of RNA families with varying sizes and functions.
