The identification of differentially expressed genes between extremes of placental efficiency in maternal line gilts on day 95 of gestation

Abstract Background Placental efficiency (PE) describes the relationship between placental and fetal weights (fetal wt/placental wt). Within litters, PE can vary drastically, resulting in similarly sized pigs associated with differently sized placentas, up to a 25% weight difference. However, the me...
