Gallus gallus abdominal preadipocytes RNA sequencing

To date, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of adipogenesis. Furthermore, the functions of lncRNAs in chicken adipogenesis remain unknown. In the present study, profiles of preadipocyte lncRNA and mRNA were analyzed during differentiation, using RNA sequencing. This study focused on characterization of the features of lncRNA and identification of differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs during different stages of preadipocyte differentiation. The functions of differentially expressed genes were annotated and the pathways involved were enriched. The present study provides a valuable resource for further study of chicken lncRNA and facilitates a better understanding of the biology of preadipocyte differentiation.
