Characterization of the Transcriptional Complexity of the Receptive and Pre-receptive Endometria of Dairy Goats Lei Zhang*, Xiao-Peng An*, Xiao-Rui Liu, Ming-Zhe Fu, Peng Han, Jia-Yin Peng, JingXing Hou, Zhan-Qin Zhou, Bin-Yun Cao & Yu-Xuan Song Endometrium receptivity is essential for successful embryo implantation in mammals. However, the lack of genetic information remains an obstacle to understanding the mechanisms underlying the development of a receptive endometrium from the pre-receptive phase in dairy goats. In this study, more than 4 billion high-quality reads were generated and de novo assembled into 102,441 unigenes; these unigenes were annotated using published databases. A total of 3,255 unigenes that were differentially expressed (DEGs) between the PE and RE were discovered in this study (Pvalues 500 RPKM. BGene expressional level ranging from 10 to 500 RPKM. CGene expressional level 500 RPKM), medium (10 to 500 RPKM), and low (
