Integrated analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic profiles identifies divergent regulatory networks for intramuscular fat in Chinese versus Western Pigs
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a key determinant of pork quality. In this study, the Chinese indigenous Huai pig (a fat-type breed) and the Western Duroc pig (a lean-type breed) were selected to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying IMF deposition. Proteomic analysis identified 91 differentially expressed...
