Chicken/human lncRNA conservation in terms of sequence (a) and syntenic position (b–e). a An example of chicken lncRNA (XLOC_014262) that has a conserved sequence with the human RP11-386B13.3 lncRNA and a similar syntenic position in both species. b Schematic picture illustrating our approach for identifying syntenic lncRNAs between the chicken and human genomes. c, d Schematic representations of the SLC38A4-AMIGO2 (d) and VPS18-DLL4 loci. e Distributions of the expression of the two subsets of lncRNAs with conserved or not synteny
