Adipose gene expression profiles reveal insights into the adaptation of northern Eurasian semi-domestic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus)

Weldenegodguad et al. performed transcriptome profiling of adipose tissues from the bone marrow, perirenal, and prescapular fat in Finnish and Even reindeer (in Sakha) during spring and winter. They identified candidate genes potentially involved in immune responses, fat deposition, and energy metab...
