Characterization of gene expression involved in pig reproduction

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Recent development in high-throughput sequencing techniques (RNA-seq) has enabled large scale analysis of genetic variations and gene expression in different tissues and species, but gene expression patterns and genetic variations in livestock have not yet been well characterized. In this study we have used high-throughput transcriptomic sequencing of the Finnish Yorkshire to identify gene expression patterns within the breed in the testis and oviduct. Methods: The Solid 4 reads were mapped against the pig genome build 10.2 using the colorspace alignment tool provided by Applied Biosystems and distributed with the instrument (LifeScope v2.1). Reads associated with ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA, repeats and other uninformative reads were filtered out during the process as well as rea
