Integrative analysis of genome and transcriptome reveals a novel regulator for pork intramuscular fat content
This study identifies MED17 as a novel regulator of IMF content in pigs, bridging genomic variation, gene expression networks, and phenotypic traits. These findings provide mechanistic insights into IMF deposition and highlight the potential of integrative multi-omics approaches for genetic improvement of pork quality traits in breeding programs.
