Muscle Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Potential Candidate Genes and Pathways Affecting Intramuscular Fat Content in Pigs
11 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content plays an essential role in meat quality. For identifying potential candidate genes and pathways regulating IMF content, the IMF content and the longissimus dorsi transcriptomes of 28 purebred Duroc pigs were measured. As a result, the transcriptome analysis of four high- and four low-IMF individuals revealed a total of 309 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using edgeR and...
