      <STUDY_ABSTRACT>In the present study, RNA-seq technique was used to compare the expression profiles of circRNAs from goat endometrium samples at gestational day 5 (pre-receptive endometrium, PE) and day 15 (receptive endometrium, RE). A total of 21,813 circRNAs were identified in goat endometrium, of which only 31.22% (6,810) circRNAs were co-expressed at both stages, and 5,925 circRNAs were identified specifically in RE and 9,078 in PE, suggesting high stage specificity in the circRNAs in dairy goats. Further analysis found that there were 334 DECs (differentially expressed circRNAs) in RE compared to PE (P&lt; 0.05), and circRNA8077 was up-regulated with the highest FPKM value in RE. It was noteworthy that half of the up-regulated circRNAs with top 10 highest FPKM value in RE were come from CRIM1. Moreover, GO and KEGG analysis of the hgDEGs (hosting genes of DECs) revealed some circRNAs, genes and pathways that may involve in the formation of the receptive endometrium in dairy goats. In a word, our data provided an endometrium circRNA expression atlas related to the biology of the goat receptive endometrium during embryo implantation, and the results suggested that a subset of circRNAs might involve in the processes of the formation and development of endometrial receptivity. Overall design: A total of 20 healthy 24-month-old multiparous dairy goats (Xinong Saanen) were induced to estrous synchronization for this study. The first day of mating was considered to be Day 0 of pregnancy. Gestational days 5 and 15 were important time points for the embryo implantation in goats. The experimental goats were observed 3 times daily to ascertained estrous sign and mated naturally twice in estrus. And then the goats were euthanized when the goats lost consciousness caused by intravenous injection of barbiturate (30mg/kg) at gestational day 5 (pre-receptive endometrium) and gestational day 15 (receptive endometrium). Endometrium samples from 10 goats at gestational day 5 and 10 goats at gestational day 15 were obtained from the anterior wall of the uterine cavity.</STUDY_ABSTRACT>
