Evolution of transcriptome profiles during muscle development in Casertana and cosmopolite pig breeds

In order to determine candidate genes involved in production traits, the mRNA levels of muscle tissue of extremely different pig breeds (genotypes) were studied using microarray tool. Casertana, an autochthonous breed characterized by slow growth and a massive accumulation of backfat, was compared t...
