ABSTRACT To investigate the key genes and microorganisms that influence fat deposition in Tunchang (TC) pigs, fourteen clinically healthy 320-day-old TC sows (body weight: 86.00 ± 2.30 kg) were stratified into high-backfat (HBF, n = 7) and low-backfat (LBF, n = 7) groups according to the difference in backfat thickness. RNA sequencing was employed to analyze hepatic transcriptomes, with subsequent identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their biological functions. In parallel, 16S rRNA sequencing and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) […]
