Identification of Key Pathways Associated With Residual Feed Intake of Beef Cattle Based on Whole Blood Transcriptome Data Analyzed Using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis

We applied whole blood transcriptome analysis and gene set enrichment analysis to identify pathways associated with divergent selection for low or high RFI in beef cattle. A group of 56 crossbred beef steers (average BW = 261 ± 18.5 kg) were adapted to a high-forage total mixed ration in a confineme...
