Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing analysis of perirenal fat from male and female Assaf suckling lambs

In sheep, differences were observed regarding fat accumulation and fatty acid (FA) composition between males and females, which may impact the quality and organoleptic characteristics of the meat. The use of omics technologies is a relevant approach for investigating biological and genetic mechanisms associated with complex traits. Here, the perirenal tissue of six male and six female Assaf suckling lambs was evaluated using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.
