Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue from Local Pig Breeds

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue from Local Pig Breeds

When compared to modern lean-type breeds, Portuguese local Alentejano (AL) and Bísaro (BI) pig breeds present a high potential for subcutaneous and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition which contributes for better meat quality. The aim of this work was to explore the genome function to better understa...
