Objective The aim of this study was to select the candidate genes affecting meat quality and
preliminarily explore the related molecular mechanisms in the Mashen pig. Methods The …

Western commercial pig breeds have been intensively selected, resulting in a sizeable,
rapid and efficient accretion of muscle but a reduction in meat quality. When compared with …

Pork is the most popular meat in the world. Unfortunately, the selection pressure focused on
high meat content led to a reduction in pork quality. The present study used RNA-seq …

In this study, we compared the transcriptome of longissimus dorsi muscle between Guizhou
Xiang pigs (XP) and Western commercial Large White pigs (LW), which show diffirent meat …

Background Natural and artificial selection following domestication has led to the existence
of more than a hundred pig breeds, as well as incredible variation in phenotypic traits …

Objective The aim of the present study was to identify genetic variants based on RNA-seq
data, obtained via transcriptome sequencing of muscle tissue of pigs differing in muscle …

The Min pig (Sus scrofa) is a well-known indigenous breed in China. One of its main
advantages over European breeds is its high meat quality. Additionally, different cuts of pig …

Understanding the genetic factors behind meat quality traits is of great significance to animal
breeding and production. We previously conducted a genome-wide association study …

Simple Summary Carcass quality traits, such as lean depth and loin depth, are of extreme
economic importance for the swine industry. This study aimed to identify the gene …

RNA-seq analysis was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the genetic
level in the longissimus dorsi muscle from two pigs to investigate the genetic mechanisms …
