Genome-wide identification and characterization of long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs in goat tissues infected with PPRV

We have used RNA-Seq to examine long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs from PPRV infected goat tissues (Lung, Spleen and Caecum). Our study reveals the prevalence of lncRNAs in goats, and has identified lncRNAs differentially expressed in different tissues of PPRV (Izatnagar94) infected goats, suggesting its important functions during virus infection. To assess lncRNAs and mRNAs expression in goats, we sequenced and analyzed lung, spleen and caecum tissues of control and PPRV infected goats at 9 day post infection.
