Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sheep (Ovis aries) exhibit significant diversity in adipose tissue deposition, which influences meat quality, environmental adaptation, and economic value. Tail fat, in particular, varies widely among breeds, yet the transcriptomic basis of this variation remains incompletely understood. This study aims to systematically compare the transcriptional profiles of five adipose depots across five sheep...
