Transcriptome analyses reveal reduced hepatic lipid synthesis and accumulation in more feed efficient beef cattle

Abstract The genetic mechanisms controlling residual feed intake (RFI) in beef cattle are still largely unknown. Here we performed whole transcriptome analyses to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and their functional roles in liver tissues between six extreme high and six extreme low RFI...
