Analysis of lncRNAs and genes inheritance patterns. (A) The number of differentially expressed LncRNAs (DELs) among purebreds and crossbreeds. (B) Inheritance patterns of DELs between crossbreeds. DELs were divided into 12 types, e.g., class I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, and further classified into three inheritance patterns: additivity (class IV and X), dominance (class III, V, IX and XI) and overdominance (class I, II, VI, VII, VIII, XII), based on the level of gene expression exhibited by purebreds and crossbreeds. Additivity, dominance and overdominance are presented in orange, blue and green, respectively. (C) The proportion of DELs in additivity, dominance and overdominance pattern. (D) The number of DEGs among purebreds and crossbreeds. (E) Inheritance patterns of DEGs of crossbreeds. DEGs were divided into 12 types, e.g,. class I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, and further classified into three inheritance patterns: additivity (class IV and X), dominance (class III, V, IX and XI) and overdominance (class I, II, VI, VII, VIII, XII), based on the level of gene expression exhibited by crossbreeds and purebreds. Additivity, dominance and overdominance are presented in orange, blue and green, respectively. (F) The proportion of DEGs in additivity, dominance and overdominance pattern.
