A comparative analysis of the transcriptome profiles of liver and muscle tissue in pigs divergent for feed efficiency
Abstract Background The improvement of feed efficiency is a key economic goal within the pig production industry. The objective of this study was to examine transcriptomic differences in both the liver and muscle of pigs divergent for feed efficiency, thus improving our understanding of the molecula...
