Expression data from Microarray experiment in muscle and liver tissues. Expression data from Microarray experiment in muscle and liver tissues

In the current work we have compared the transcriptomic and eQTL profiles of the porcine skeletal muscle and liver by using a data set of 103 Duroc pigs genotyped with the Illumina SNP60 BeadChip and with available microarray measurements of gene expression for both tissues. Overall design: Gluteus medius and liver samples were collected from 103 Duroc pigs (Lipgen population) after slaughtering and immediately frozen at -80ºC in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted from both GM and liver samples and mRNA expression profiles were characterized by hybridization to the GeneChip Porcine arrays
