Background: As a crucial economic characteristic and a major indicator
of reproductive performance in layers, egg production is controlled by a series
of complex regulatory heredity basis. In particular, the interacting regulatory
function between noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and coding RNA plays important roles in
regulating laying performance. Methods: In this study, the RNA sequencing
(RNA-seq) of ovarian tissues from Lohmann hens (n = 3) and Chengkou Mountain
chicken (n = 3) under the laying peak period was performed to identify RNA
transcriptional differences among different laying-performance populations.
Results: Results showed that the expression level of 303 mRNAs, 68 long ncRNAs
(lncRNAs), 533 circular RNAs (circRNAs), and 79 microRNAs (miRNAs) was
significantly different among the groups. Functional enrichment analysis of these
differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs revealed that the laying process was
implicated in numerous significantly enriched pathways (p
