Mechanisms of Oogenesis-Related Long Non-coding RNAs in Porcine Ovaries Treated With Recombinant Pig Follicle-Stimulating Hormone.

ABSTRACT: Reproductive efficiency is of significant importance in pork production for it has a great impact on economic success. Ovulation rate is an early component of reproduction efficiency of pigs, and it contributes to the upper limit of litter size. In this study, we used the newly developed recombinant pig follicle stimulating hormone (rpFSH) instead of traditional PMSG to increase ovulation rate of pigs in order to achieve higher litter size, for it was better at stimulating ovulation, and showed more cheaper and greener. However, relatively little is known about the underlying genetic bases and molecular mechanisms. Consequently, an experiment was carried out in ovaries of replacement gilts to screen the key genes and lncRNAs that affect the fecundity of pigs by RNA-seq technology. Twenty g
