Fig. 1

Workflow of bioinformatic analysis in our research. The figure shows the process of bioinformatic analysis in this study. The orange box illustrates the criteria for data quality control, the identification criteria for non-coding RNAs are listed in the pale green box, and the identification criteria for novel protein-coding RNAs are listed in the yellow box. The identification of lncRNAs and novel mRNAs are shown in the green rectangle. Differential expression analysis and gene co-expression analysis are shown in the purple rectangle. GO and KEGG analysis for mRNAs are displayed in the two cyan rounded rectangles. The gene regulation network shown in an irregular graph was constructed by integrating the results of differential expression analysis, co-expression analysis, and target prediction of lncRNAs
