Identification of Candidate Genes and Regulatory Factors Underlying Intramuscular Fat Content Through Longissimus Dorsi Transcriptome Analyses in Heavy Iberian Pigs

Identification of Candidate Genes and Regulatory Factors Underlying Intramuscular Fat Content Through Longissimus Dorsi Transcriptome Analyses in Heavy Iberian Pigs

One of the most important determinants of meat quality is the intramuscular fat (IMF) content. The development of high-throughput techniques as RNA-seq allows identifying gene pathways and networks with a differential expression (DE) between groups of animals divergent for a particular trait. The Ib...
