Transcriptome sequencing reveals key potential long non-coding RNAs related to duration of fertility trait in the uterovaginal junction of egg-laying hens
Abstract Duration of fertility, (DF) is an important functional trait in poultry production and lncRNAs have emerged as important regulators of various process including fertility. In this study we applied a genome-guided strategy to reconstruct the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) transcriptome of 14 eg...
