RETRACTED ARTICLE: Thyroid transcriptomic profiling reveals the differential regulation of lncRNA and mRNA related to prolificacy in small tail han sheep with <i>FecB BB</i> genotype

We, the Editor and Publisher of Animal Biotechnology, have retracted the following article: Chang, C., He, X., Di, R., Wang, X., Han, M., Liang, C., &amp; Chu, M. (2024). Thyroid transcriptomic profiling reveals the differential regulation of lncRNA and mRNA related to prolificacy in small tail han sheep with FecB BB genotype. Animal Biotechnology, 35(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/10495398.2024.2312393 Following publication, concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data presented in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors responded, however, they were unable to address the concerns raised. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore, retracting the article. The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed. The authors do not agree with the retraction. We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines. The retracted articles will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but they will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.《动物生物技术》（Animal Biotechnology）的编辑与出版方现已撤回以下文章： 常畅（Chang, C.）、何鑫（He, X.）、狄锐（Di, R.）、王翔（Wang, X.）、韩萌（Han, M.）、梁超（Liang, C.）、褚敏（Chu, M.）（2024）。《甲状腺转录组谱分析揭示FecB BB基因型小尾寒羊繁殖性能相关长链非编码RNA（long non-coding RNA, lncRNA）与信使RNA（messenger RNA, mRNA）的差异调控》。《动物生物技术》，35(1)，https://doi.org/10.1080/10495398.2024.2312393 该文章发表后，有读者对文中数据的真实性与完整性提出质疑。编辑部联系作者寻求解释，但作者未能就所提质疑作出合理解答。鉴于验证已发表研究的有效性是维护学术记录公信力的核心要义，编辑部特此撤回该文章。本文标注的通讯作者已收到相关通知。 作者不同意本次撤稿决定。 本次撤稿决策依据本刊编辑政策与国际出版伦理委员会（Committee on Publication Ethics, COPE）指南制定。 为保留学术记录完整性，撤稿文章将继续在线留存，但每一页均将添加数字水印，标注为‘Retracted’。
