Abstract excerpt
Meat quality traits (MQTs) are very important in the porcine industry, which are mainly determined by skeletal muscle fiber composition, extra-muscular and/or intramuscular fat content. To identify the differentially expressed candidate genes affecting the meat quality traits, first we compared the MQTs and skeletal muscle fiber characteristics in the longissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) of the Northeast Min pig (NM)...
