Characterization of the top rhythmic transcripts in the NAc, caudate, and putamen. (A) Lists of the top 20 rhythmic transcripts in the NAc, caudate, and putamen. Many of the top rhythmic transcripts in the caudate are core circadian clock genes. In the NAc, most of the top rhythmic transcripts are noncoding RNAs, including snoRNAs, snRNAs, and lncRNAs. Ensembl IDs are listed for the lncRNAs, as all these transcripts were not associated with Human Genome Organisation Gene Nomenclature Committee symbols. (B) Biotype charts of the top 100 rhythmic transcripts revealed that the majority of the top rhythmic transcripts in the caudate and putamen are protein-coding, with a small percentage of noncoding RNAs (i.e., lncRNAs). In the NAc, a larger percentage of the top rhythmic transcripts were noncoding RNAs, particularly snoRNAs (14%).
