Characteristics of Long Non-coding RNAs in the Brown Norway Rat and Alterations in the Dahl Salt-Sensitive Rat

Using poly(A)-independent and strand-specific RNA-seq, we identified approximately 1,500 to 1,800 lncRNAs expressed in each of the following tissues of Brown Norway rats: the renal cortex, renal outer medulla, liver, cardiac left ventricle, adrenal gland, and hypothalamus.本研究采用poly(A)非依赖型（poly(A)-independent）与链特异性RNA测序（strand-specific RNA-seq）技术，在布朗挪威大鼠（Brown Norway rats）的以下各组织中分别鉴定出约1500至1800个长链非编码RNA（lncRNAs）：肾皮质、肾外髓质、肝脏、心脏左心室、肾上腺及下丘脑。
