Integrated LC/MS-based lipidomics and transcriptomics revealed lipid heterogeneity and flavour variation in different cuts of muscles from Sadumont lamb

This multi-omics investigation systematically deciphers the molecular basis of flavor heterogeneity across anatomical regions of Sadumont sheep muscle, identifying key lipid biomarkers and regulatory genes. The findings provide a theoretical framework for precision breeding that targets enhancing meat quality, refining processing strategies, and exploiting heterosis in sheep production systems, thereby advancing sustainable development in the ruminant meat industry.
