Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been emerging as an important regulator in mammalian reproduction <i>via</i> acting as miRNA sponges. However, the circRNAs in porcine ovaries related with litter size remains largely unknown. In this study, porcine ovaries with smaller or larger litter size (LLS) were subjected to high-throughput RNA sequencing. In total, 38,722 circRNAs were identified, of which 1,291 circRNAs were commonly expressed in all samples. There were 56 circRNAs significantly down-regula ...[more]
