Comparative Transcriptome Analyses of Longissimus thoracis Between Pig Breeds Differing in Muscle Characteristics

Comparative Transcriptome Analyses of Longissimus thoracis Between Pig Breeds Differing in Muscle Characteristics

The two breeds, Mashen (MS; a northern China breed) and Large White (LW; a western lean breed) pigs, show important phenotypic differences in growth, adaptability, intramuscular fat (IMF) content, and energy metabolism since early developmental stage. The main aim of this study was the evaluation of...
