pig adipose Transcriptome with extreme backfat thickness
The traits of fatness were important for the growth, meat quality, reproductive performance and immune. The regulation of lipid metabolism takes place in the two principal organs as adipose tissue and liver. In this study, we have used massive parallel high-throughput sequencing technologies to the porcine adipose tissue and liver tissue transcriptome architecture in six songliao black pigs showing extreme phenotypes for backfat thickness of live (three per group, two pairs full-sibs). The total number of reads produced for each sample ranged about 26 million. Approximately 188 were differentially regulated in adipose tissue. Differentially regulated genes in adipose samples were enriched in metabolic processes such as fatty acid biosynthesis, lipid synthesis, metabolisms of fatty acid metabolic, etinol, caffeine, arachidonic acid, drug and immune. Further studies are required for proving the role of candidate genes to be used in genomic selection for fat deposition in pig breeding programs.
