Comprehensive circular RNA profiling in various sheep tissues.

ABSTRACT: Despite the scientific relevance of circular RNAs (circRNAs), the study of these RNAs in non-model organisms, especially in sheep, is still in its infancy. On the other hand, while some studies have focused on sheep circRNA identification in a limited number of tissues, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis that profile circRNA expression patterns across the tissues not yet investigated. In this study, 61 public RNA sequencing datasets from 12 different tissues were uniformly analyzed to identify circRNAs, profile their expression and investigate their various characteristics. We reported for the first time a circRNA expression landscape with functional annotation in sheep tissues not yet investigated including hippocampus, BonMarrowMacrophage, left-ventricle, thymus, ileum, reticulum
