Comparative gene expression profiling of muscle reveals potential candidate genes affecting drip loss in pork

Abstract Background Drip loss is a key aspect of meat quality. Transcriptome profiles of muscle with divergent drip loss would offer important insight into the genetic factors responsible for the trait. In this study, drip loss and other meat quality traits of 28 purebred Duroc pigs were measured, m...
