Identification of putative regulatory regions and transcription factors associated with intramuscular fat content traits
26 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Integration of high throughput DNA genotyping and RNA-sequencing data allows for the identification of genomic regions that control gene expression, known as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), on a whole genome scale. Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and carcass composition play important roles in metabolic and physiological processes in mammals because they influence insulin sensitivity and...
