Detection of differential genes in longissimus dorsi muscle of southern Diannan small ears,Wujin and landrace pigs.
In order to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying muscle growth, this study adopted RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify and compare DEGs at the genetic level in the Longissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) between two indigenous Chinese pig breeds (Diannan small ears [DSE] pig and Wujin pig [WJ] ) and one introduced pig breed (Landrace pig [LP]).
