Differential analyses of the transcriptomic phenomena within porcine adenohypophysis during early pregnancy

The aim of this study was to gain a principal understanding of alterations within the transcrip-tome, spliceosome and editome in the pituitary of the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica L.), which controls basic physiological processes in the reproductive system, during early pregnan-cy. In this investigation, we performed extensive analyses of data obtained by high-throughput sequencing of RNA from the gilts' pituitary anterior lobes during embryo implantation and the mid-luteal phase of the estrous cycle, as a stage of the cycle with similar corpus luteum secretory activity to gestation.
