Comparing the transcriptomes of ovaries from prolific Jintang black goat and non-prolific Tibetan goat (Capra hircus) during follicular phase

The present study, for the first time, compared the transcriptomes of ovaries from the prolific Jintang black goat and the non-prolific Tibetan goat during follicular phase using the Illumina RNA-Seq method. The study provides insight into the transcriptional regulation in the ovaries of two distinct breeds of goats that might serve as a key resource for understanding goat fecundity. Overall design: Total RNA obtained from ovaries of the prolific Jintang black goat and the non-prolific Tibetan goat during follicular phase, then tanscriptomes of the two breeds were campared.
