It is involved in the regulation of various biological processes. The following is a method for identifying pig lncRNA: Sample collection: extract total RNA from pig tissues or cells; RNA sequencing: use second-generation sequencing technology to sequence total RNA to obtain a large amount of sequencing data; data preprocessing: perform quality control and filtering on sequencing data to remove low-quality reads and adapter sequences; transcript assembly: use transcript assembly software such as StringTie or Cufflinks to assemble sequencing reads into transcripts; lncRNA identification: identify lncRNA from assembled transcripts based on the characteristics of lncRNA, such as length, coding potential and expression level; function prediction: predict the function of the identified lncRNA, which can be performed by association analysis with genes with known functions, or by using bioinformatics tools to predict its possible biological function; experimental verification: select some lncRNAs for experimental verification, such as through RT-PCR, Northern blot or RNA Interference and other technologies are used to verify its expression and function in pig tissues or cells. The above operation steps are cumbersome, time-consuming and costly, and a simple and convenient method is urgently needed. Summary of the invention

Use commercial M13F and M13R primers to perform PCR amplification on the recombinant plasmid. Purify the PCR product and use it as a DNA template for in vitro transcription.

[0022] 2. Capping & transcription, the system is shown in Table 4: Table 4

[0023] Incubate in PCR instrument at 37℃ for 30min. In 20μL system, 8μL is left except T7 enzyme and NTP-Mix, so the minimum X concentration cannot be lower than 125ng / μL. 30min for larger than 500bp and 1h or more to overnight (16h) for smaller than 500bp.

[0024] Remove template: Add 2 μL DNase I, mix well, and incubate at 37°C for 15 min.

[0025] Add enough ATP to the tailing-capping mix without adding additional tailing substrate. The system is shown in Table 5: Table 5

[0026] Incubate at 37°C for 45 minutes. A 30-minute tailing reaction will provide a poly(A) tail of 150 nt or longer for most mRNAs. Due to the nature of the tailing reaction, the tail length will vary depending on the RNA sequence, structure, yield, length, etc. For very short RNAs (<300 nt), the tailing time can be extended to 1 hour to achieve adequate tailing.

[0027] mRNA purification To 50 μl of the tailing reaction, add 25 μl of lithium chloride solution and mix well. Incubate at -20°C for 30 minutes. 3. Centrifuge at top speed at 4°C for 15 minutes to precipitate the RNA. Carefully remove the supernatant. Resuspend in 500 μl of cold 70% ethanol and centrifuge at 4°C for 10 minutes. Carefully aspirate the ethanol. Carefully remove any remaining liquid. Allow to dry for 5 min and resuspend the mRNA in 50 μl of 0.1 mM EDTA or a suitable RNA storage solution. Heat the RNA at 65°C for 5-10 minutes to completely dissolve the RNA and mix well. Store the RNA at -20°C or below. Step 4: Inject the RNA obtained in step 3 into pig embryos: (1) Acquisition of parthenogenetic embryos GV stage oocytes were obtained from pig ovaries. When the oocytes developed to the MII stage, hyaluronidase (0.1%) was used to remove the cumulus cells on the cumulus-oocyte complex, and mature oocytes with polar bodies were selected under a microscope for use.

[0028] Acquisition of parthenogenetic embryos: The electro-activation method was used, and the specific operation was as follows: the fusion tank was placed under the microscope, the positive and negative electrodes were installed, and the preheated fusion solution was added. The mature oocyte was then placed in the center of the fusion tank, and the whole was in a single straight line. Direct current was used for electric shock twice, 1.2 kV / cm, and the pulse time was 30 μs. The embryos were then moved to the PZM-3 wash drop and washed four times. After that, every 50 embryos were moved into a four-well plate with 500 μL PZM-3 culture solution in each well and cultured in an incubator at 39°C, 5% carbon dioxide, and saturated humidity.

[0029] (2) RNA injection 1) Preparation of fixation needle and injection needle A thin-walled capillary with a specification of 1.0 mm OD and 0.78 mm ID was used to pull a micromanipulator on a P-97 needle puller. The thin-walled capillary was fixed on the needle puller, and the appropriate parameters were selected to break the thin-walled capillary, which was used to prepare fixed needles and injection needles respectively. The parameters for the fixed needle were: temperature 565℃, power 200 W, tension 50, time 50 seconds, and then placed on the needle calcining instrument. The needle was broken at the 140 μm ruler, and the broken needle mouth was kept flat. The broken mouth was made smooth using high heat, and the inner diameter was about 30 μm. The needle tip was placed near the glass ball and continuously heated to bend the fixed needle to the optimal angle to complete the preparation of the fixed needle. The injection needle parameters were set as follows: temperature 600℃, power 200 W, tension 150, time 130 seconds, and polished at a 45° angle with a needle grinder. Then the thin-walled capillary was fixed to the needle calcining instrument. The heating point was located 2 cm away from the needle tip, and the needle tip was burned and bent to a 15° angle.

[0030] 2) Microinjection The RNA obtained by in vitro transcription was dissolved in RNase-free H2O to a final concentration of 10 mM, and stored in a -80°C refrigerator after aliquoting. A Nikon inverted microscope (TS-100), Nikon microinjection system (IM-9A) and Eppendorf Femtojet Express quantitative injection system were used as micromanipulation systems. The aliquoted siRNA was centrifuged at 13000 rpm at 4°C and the supernatant was aspirated for standby use. The supernatant was aspirated through a micropipette tip and added to the tip of the injection tube, which was placed on the operating arm. After the injection system was opened, the injection parameters were injection pressure 100 hPa, injection time 0.2 seconds and compensation pressure 40 hPa. The injection volume per embryo was about 20 pL.

[0031] The fluorescence intensity was detected by fluorescence microscopy. If there was fluorescence expression, the RNA was not lncRNA. If there was no fluorescence expression, the RNA was lncRNA. If the embryo did not express green fluorescent protein, it meant that the ORF did not have the ability to encode protein, indicating that the RNA was lncRNA; if the embryo expressed green fluorescent protein, it meant that the ORF had the ability to encode protein, indicating that the RNA was not lncRNA.

[0032] Figure 1 Mouse lncRNA Gas5 and porcine lncRNA lncFKBPL were used as positive controls, and mouse internal reference gene GAPDH was used as a negative control. The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, LncFKBPL and Gas5 verified by the present invention are confirmed mouse lncRNA and GAPDH control genes, and the 7 forward open reading frames of LncFKBPL have no expression function and are determined to be lncRNA; 1 open reading frame of Gas5 also has no expression ability and is determined to be lncRNA.
