Recent advances in the use of <i>Sus scrofa</i> (pig) as a model system for proteomic studies

Abstract excerpt

Of the numerous animal models available for proteomic studies only a small number have been successfully used in understanding human biology. To date, rodents have been widely employed in proteomic and genomic studies but often these models do not truly mimic the relevant human conditions. On the other hand, the pig shows similarity in size, shape and physiology to human and has been used as a major mammalian...
