Transcriptome Analysis Identifies Candidate Genes and Pathways Associated With Feed Efficiency in Hu Sheep

Transcriptome Analysis Identifies Candidate Genes and Pathways Associated With Feed Efficiency in Hu Sheep

In the genetic improvement of livestock and poultry, residual feed intake (RFI) is an important economic trait. However, in sheep, the genetic regulatory mechanisms of RFI are unclear. In the present study, we measured the feed efficiency (FE)-related phenotypes of 137 male Hu lambs, and selected si...
