Genome-Wide Identification and Involvement in Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses of lncRNAs in Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus).

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in a variety of biological processes, including stress response. However, the number, characteristics and stress-related expression of lncRNAs in turbot are still largely unknown. In this study, a total of 12,999 lncRNAs were identified at the genome-wide level of turbot for the first time using 24 RNA-seq datasets. Sequence characteristic analyses of transcripts showed that lncRNA transcripts were shorter in average length, lower in average GC content and in average expression level as compared to the coding genes. Expression pattern analyses of lncRNAs in 12 distinct tissues showed that lncRNAs, especially lincRNA, exhibited stronger tissue-specific expression than coding genes. Moreover, 612, 1351, 1060, 875, 420 and 1689 differentially
