An integrative transcriptome analysis indicates regulatory networks for residual feed intake in Nelore cattle
We performed differential expression and weighted gene co-expression network analyses (WGCNA) to uncover the complex interactions between miRNAs and mRNAs expressed in skeletal muscle and liver tissue previously associated with feed efficiency. For it, miRNA and mRNA expression data were obtained from Nelore steers genetically divergent for RFI (N=10, Low-RFI, efficient; N=10, High-RFI, inefficient).
