Integrative Multi-Omics Analysis Reveals Germplasm Advantages and Candidate Mechanisms Underlying High Intramuscular Fat Deposition in Wuhuang Pigs
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a key indicator of pork eating quality. Wuhuang pigs, a fat-type local breed of Sichuan, exhibit high IMF, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, Wuhuang and foreign-breed pigs were compared by integrated phenotypic, transcriptomic, metabolomic and 16S rRNA analyses. Crud...
