Comparisons of transcript length, exon length and exon number between novel lincRNA genes, known lincRNA genes and protein-coding genes. (A) Comparisons of transcript length. Novel lincRNA genes show shorter average transcripts length (776 bp) than that of the known lincRNA genes (1,361 bp) and the protein-coding genes (1,828 bp); (B) Comparisons of exon length. Novel lincRNA genes show shorter mean exon length (307 bp) than that of the known lincRNA genes (450 bp) but longer than that of the protein-coding genes (233 bp); (C) Comparisons of exon number. Novel lincRNA genes trend to have less exons than that of the known lincRNA genes (2.5 vs 2.8) and protein-coding genes (2.5 vs 7.8); (D) Representative images of conserved regions between pig lincRNAs with human and mouse lincRNAs. Thick lines indicate an exon and thin lines indicates an intron of the lincRNAs. Boxes indicate the conserved region between two lincRNAs.
