Insight Into Pituitary lncRNA and mRNA at Two Estrous Stages in Small Tail Han Sheep With Different FecB Genotypes by Si Chen, Xiaofei Guo, Xiaofei Guo, Xiaoyun He, Ran Di, Xiaosheng Zhang, Jinlong Zhang, Xiangyu Wang, Mingxing Chu

“…MSTRG.47470 and MSTRG.101530 were the trans-regulated elements of ID1 (inhibitor of DNA binding 3, HLH protein) and the DEG ID3 (inhibitor of DNA binding 3, HLH protein), and EEF2 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2), respectively; these factors might be involved in melatonin and peptide hormone secretion. In the FecB-mediated follicular phase, MSTRG.125392 targeted seizure-related 6 homolog like (SEZ6L), and MSTRG.125394 and MSTRG.83276 targeted the DEG KCNQ3 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 3) in cis, while MSTRG.55861 targeted FKBP4 (FKBP prolyl isomerase 4) in trans. …”
