Quantitative analysis of the blood transcriptome of young healthy pigs and its relationship with subsequent disease resilience

Abstract Background Disease resilience, which is the ability of an animal to maintain performance under disease, is important for pigs in commercial herds, where they are exposed to various pathogens. Our objective was to investigate population-level gene expression profiles in the blood of 912 heal...
