Diversity of lncRNAs in the pan-transcriptome of maize inbred lines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a substantial portion of the plant transcriptomes and performs important functions in numerous molecular, regulatory, growth and developmental processes and stress responses. However, functional characteristics supported by experimental evaluation are known only for a small part of lncRNAs. In this regard, evolutionary and comparative analysis of lncRNA sequences can provide additional information about the functional role of these molecules.

Results

Analysis of RNA-seq libraries from 503 maize inbred lines obtained by Hirsch et al. (2014) enabled the assessment of sequence diversity and evolutionary patterns of maize lncRNAs within the pan-transcriptome framework and their comparison with analogous mRNA characteristics. T
