Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Physiological processes aiding the conversion of muscle to meat involve many genes associated with muscle structure and metabolic processes. MicroRNAs regulate networks of genes to orchestrate cellular functions, in turn regulating phenotypes. RESULTS: We applied weighted gene co-expression network analysis to identify co-expression modules that correlated to meat quality phenotypes and were highly...
