RNA-Seq Reveals the Roles of Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Cashmere Fiber Production Performance of Cashmere Goats in China.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a kind of non-coding RNA being >200 nucleotides in length, and they are found to participate in hair follicle growth and development and wool fiber traits regulation. However, there are limited studies reporting the role of lncRNAs in cashmere fiber production in cashmere goats. In this study, Liaoning cashmere (LC) goats (n = 6) and Ziwuling black (ZB) goats (n = 6) with remarkable divergences in cashmere yield, cashmere fiber diameter, and cashmere color were selected for the construction of expression profiles of lncRNAs in skin tissue using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). According to our previous report about the expression profiles of mRNAs originated from the same skin tissue as those used in the study, the cis and trans targe
