Abstract:Background Local Chinese local pig breeds have better meat quality, such as thinner muscle fiber and higher intramuscular-fat (IMF) content. However, its molecular regulation mechanism has not been discussed in-depth. Studies indicated that long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the regulation of muscle and fat development. The expressional differences of lncRNAs in the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle were identified between Huainan pigs (local Chinese pigs, fat-type, HN) and Large White pigs (lean-type, … Show more
