Transcriptome analysis identifies genes and co-expression networks underlying heat tolerance in pigs

Abstract Background Heat stress adversely affects pig growth and reproduction performance by reducing feed intake, weight gain, farrowing rate, and litter size. Heat tolerance is an important characteristic in pigs, allowing them to mitigate the negative effects of heat stress on their physiological...
