DEVELOPMENT OF A PORCINE SKELETAL MUSCLE CDNA MICROARRAY: ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENTIAL TRANSCRIPT EXPRESSION IN PHENOTYPICALLY DISTINCT MUSCLES

Development of a porcine skeletal muscle cDNA microarray: analysis of differential transcript expression in phenotypically distinct muscles

Abstract Background Microarray profiling has the potential to illuminate the molecular processes that govern the phenotypic characteristics of porcine skeletal muscles, such as hypertrophy or atrophy, and the expression of specific fibre types.This information is not only important for understanding basic muscle biology but also provides underpinni
