Investigation of lncRNA in Bos taurus Mammary Tissue during Dry and Lactation Periods.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to collect RNA-Seq data from Bos taurus samples representing dry and lactating mammary tissue, identify lncRNA transcripts, and analyze findings for their features and functional annotation. This allows for connections to be drawn between lncRNA and the lactation process. RNA-Seq data from 103 samples of Bos taurus mammary tissue were gathered from publicly available databases (60 dry, 43 lactating). The samples were filtered to reveal 214 dry mammary lncRNA transcripts and 517 lactating mammary lncRNA transcripts. The lncRNAs met common lncRNA characteristics such as shorter length, fewer exons, lower expression levels, and less sequence conservation when compared to the genome. Interestingly, several lncRNAs showed sequence similarity to genes associated wit
