Sus scrofa strain:Large White Transcriptome or Gene expression. Sus scrofa strain:Large White

In this study, we used high-throughput transcriptome sequencing in two pigs from extreme breeds. Our aim was to discover and characterize novel expressed transcripts and to identify differentially expressed genes that may explain some of the phenotypic variation. We sequenced the male gonad transcriptome of a Large White and an Iberian pig, two highly divergent phenotypic breeds in terms of production traits, e.g., growth, fatness and reproductive performance. ###{72725 (this project) will be merged with 73723 and then, 72725 will be deleted - JohnJ Oct5, 2011}###
