The forgotten variable? Does the euthanasia method and sample storage condition influence an organisms transcriptome – a gene expression analysis on multiple tissues in pigs

Abstract Background Transcriptomic studies often require collection of fresh tissues post euthanasia. The chosen euthanasia method might have the potential to induce variations in gene expressions that are unlinked with the experimental design. The present study compared the suitability of ‘nitrogen...
