Backfat thickness traits are strongly associated with meat quality, fattening efficiency, reproductive performance, and immunity in pigs. Fat storage and fatty acid synthesis mainly occur in adipose tissue. Therefore, we used a high-throughput massively parallel sequencing approach to identify transcriptomes in adipose tissue from three full-sibling pairs of pigs with opposite (high and low) backfat thickness phenotypes.
