Genome-wide cis-expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) and transcriptomic signals reveal distinct molecular regulation across correlated feed efficiency traits
The results highlight that integrated multi-trait candidate gene identification approaches can reveal key genes that lower feed intake while maintaining animal growth, supporting breeding strategies aimed at improving efficiency and long-term economic sustainability in sheep.
