Transcriptomic profiling of rumen epithelium, liver, and muscle reveals tissue-specific gene expression patterns in Hu sheep
This study reveals transcriptional specialization and inter-tissue coordination in Hu sheep metabolic organs, identifies tissue-specific gene modules associated with DMI and ADG, and highlights hub genes as potential targets for precision breeding and feeding strategies to improve feed efficiency and growth in Hu sheep.
