Identification of key genes affecting porcine fat deposition based on co-expression network analysis of weighted genes

Abstract Background Fat deposition is an important economic consideration in pig production. The amount of fat deposition in pigs seriously affects production efficiency, quality, and reproductive performance, while also affecting consumers’ choice of pork. Weighted gene co-expression network analys...
