RNA-seq of muscle from pigs divergent in feed efficiency and product quality

Feed efficiency (FE) is an indicator of efficiency in converting energy from feed into a tissue that is of major environmental and economic significance.This study was to profile the porcine Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle transcriptome, examine the product quality from pigs divergent in FE and investigate the functional networks underpinning the potential relationship between product quality and FE.

饲料转化率（Feed efficiency, FE）是衡量将饲料中的能量转化为畜禽机体组织的效率的指标，该指标具有重要的环境与经济价值。本研究旨在解析猪胸腰最长肌（Longissimus thoracis et lumborum, LTL）的转录组特征，分析饲料转化率存在差异的猪只的肉品品质，并探究支撑肉品品质与饲料转化率之间潜在关联的功能调控网络。
