Single-nucleus RNA sequencing of Diqing Tibetan pig
The Diqing Tibetan pig (DQTP) is a local breed in China, renowned for its high adaptation to plateau climates. However, it has undergone less human selection compared to modern commercial pigs, resulting in smaller but a wide range of body sizes and meat production within its population. The cellular transcriptional variation in this breed related to muscle phenotypes remains unexplored.
