Profiling of the yak skeletal muscle tissue gene expression and comparison with the domestic cattle by genome array

Of all the mammals of the world, the yak lives at the highest altitude area of more than 3000 m. Comparison between yak and cattle of the low-altitude areas will be informative in studying animal adaptation to higher altitudes. To investigate the molecular mechanism involved in meat quality differen...
