Genome-wide cis-expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) and transcriptomic signals reveal distinct molecular regulation across correlated feed efficiency traits
Introduction Feed efficiency (FE) is a complex trait which determines livestock production profitability, yet the molecular mechanisms behind it remain unclear. This study investigated the blood transcriptomic profile of lambs, alongside genotype data with the aim to uncover the genetic basis of FE traits such as absol...
