Description
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding RNAs that are involved in a variety of biological processes. The pig is an important farm animal and an ideal biomedical model. In this study, we performed a genome-wide scan for lncRNAs in multiple tissue types from pigs. We developed a stringent bioinformatics pipeline to identify 2,139 high-quality multi-exonic lncRNAs.
