Liver transcriptome profile in pigs with extreme phenotypes of intramuscular fatty acid composition

ABSTRACT: The liver transcriptomes of two female groups (High and Low) with phenotypically extreme intramuscular fatty acid composition were sequenced using RNA-Seq [accn: SRA053452, subid: 86092, Bioproject: PRJNA168072]. A total of 146 and 180 unannotated protein-coding genes were identified in intergenic regions for the L and H groups, respectively. In addition, a range of 5.8 to 7.3% of repetitive elements was found, with SINEs being the most abundant elements. The expression in liver of 186 (L) and 270 (H) lncRNAs was also detected. The higher reproducibility of the RNA-Seq data was validated by RT-qPCR and porcine expression microarrays, therefore showing a strong correlation between RT-qPCR and RNA-Seq data (ranking from 0.79 to 0.96), as well as between microarrays and RNA-Seq (r=0.72).
