Identification and characterization of long non-coding RNAs in the head kidney of Nocardia seriolae-infected largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) juvenile

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators of various biological processes. However, it remains unclear how lncRNAs can be involved in the immune response to Nocardia seriolae invasion in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Here we leveraged the whole transcriptome RNA-seq technique to screen lncRNAs associated with the head kidney infected with Nocardia seriolae.
