The genetic influence of sex on gene expression for blood in pigs
This study revealed sex-biased gene expression patterns and sex-dependent regulatory effect of gene expression of blood tissues in pigs. Additionally, this study found the sexually dimorphic regulation of gene expression underlying complex traits. These findings provided a comprehensive insight and resource and advance our understanding of sexual dimorphism in genetic mechanism underlying complex traits in blood.
