Fig. 8From: miR-423 sponged by lncRNA NORHA inhibits granulosa cell apoptosismiR-423 is a candidate gene for sow fertility traits. A Schematic diagram of the location of miR-423 in QTLs for sow fertility traits. B A T ins/del was identified at −703 nt in the promoter of miR-423. C Peak plot of three genotypes for the variant g.−703indelT. D–G Association analysis between polymorphism of the variant g.−703indelT with the TNB trait (D), the NBA trait (E), the NSB trait (F) and the LW trait (G) of Yorkshire sows for primiparity. TNB, the total number of piglets born; NBA, the total number of piglets born alive; NSB, the number of stillbirths; LW, the litter weight. n = 369.
