Differences in muscle transcriptome among pigs phenotypically extreme for fatty acid composition.

BACKGROUND:Besides having an impact on human health, the porcine muscle fatty acid profile determines meat quality and taste. The RNA-Seq technologies allowed us to explore the pig muscle transcriptome with an unprecedented detail. The aim of this study was to identify differentially-expressed genes...
