Transcriptome Analysis of Long Noncoding RNAs and mRNAs in Granulosa Cells of Jinghai Yellow Chickens Illuminated With Red Light.

ABSTRACT: Jinghai Yellow chickens are a new indigenous breed with a dual purpose in China, but their egg laying performance is limited. Compared with white light (WL), exposure to red light (RL) can improve the egg laying performance of hens. Herein, to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which RL affects the egg laying performance, RNA sequencing was used to analyze long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs from granulosa cells of small yellow follicles from Jinghai Yellow chickens in RL and WL groups. A total of 12,466 lncRNAs were identified among the assembled transcripts, of which 168 lncRNAs were significantly different between the RL and WL groups (101 downregulated and 67 upregulated). Additionally, 1182 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified (958 downregulated and 224 upregulated). I
