Abstract excerpt
Subcutaneous fat (SCF) and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition is relevant to health in humans, as well as meat production and quality in pigs. In this study, we generated RNA sequence data for 122 SCF, 120 IMF, and 87 longissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) samples using 155 F6 pigs from a specially designed heterogeneous population generated by intercrossing four highly selected European commercial breeds and four...
