“…Molecular animal nutrition is a new branch of nutriology studying animal nutrition at the basic molecular biological level. In other words, it is to study animal biological processes at the gene expression level, or to study nutrient–gene interactions, with the aid of modern molecular biological science and technologies (5, 6). Study of the dynamic bidirectional nutrient–gene interactions can ultimately elucidate the basic molecular mechanisms by which dietary nutrients regulate animal gene expression, cellular biochemical responses, and, in turn, the physiological processes and phenotypic expression (7).…”

Thorough understanding of animal gene expression driven by dietary nutrients can be regarded as a bottom line of advanced animal nutrition research. Nutrigenomics (including transcriptomics) studies the effects of dietary nutrients on cellular gene expression and, ultimately, phenotypic changes in living organisms. Transcriptomics can be applied to investigate animal tissue transcriptomes at a defined nutritional state, which can provide a holistic view of intracellular RNA expression. As a novel transcriptomics approach, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology can monitor all gene expressions simultaneously in response to dietary intervention. The principle and history of RNA-Seq are briefly reviewed, and its 3 principal steps are described in this article. Application of RNA-Seq in different areas of animal nutrition research is summarized. Lastly, the application of RNA-Seq in swine science and nutrition is also reviewed. In short, RNA-Seq holds significant potential to be employed for better understanding the nutrient–gene interactions in agricultural animals.
