Integration of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis identifies key genes affecting IMF content

In this study, we used the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis to identify the accessible chromatin regions and key genes affecting IMF content in one pig breed with extremely high and low IMF content.本研究采用转座酶可及性染色质测序（assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing，ATAC-seq）与RNA测序（RNA-seq）分析技术，对肌内脂肪（intramuscular fat，IMF）含量存在极端高低差异的某一猪品种中影响IMF含量的可及性染色质区域与关键基因进行了鉴定。
