LncRNA identification and correlation analyses between DNA methylation and genes or lncRNAs expression. (A) Number of different types of lncRNAs in all developmental stages. (B) Venn diagram of lncRNAs identified through 4 software. (C) Hierarchical cluster analysis of lncRNAs using their expression levels. Replicates were merged together in the analysis. (D-G) The genes or lncRNAs were divided into 4 groups based on their expression levels. The methylation level around TSS and TES of each group was measured using 20 bins across the whole genome for layers and broilers, respectively.
