Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how intramuscular fat (IMF) content affects meat quality in Jingxing Yellow (JXY) chickens by utilizing multi-omics techniques such as RNA-sequencing and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing to pinpoint critical genes during chicken development.
- - Researchers found that triglyceride levels increased after 35 days of age and identified key genes, including PLA2G4F, that are negatively correlated between their methylation and expression levels, indicating their role in IMF deposition.
- - The results highlight a significant pathway in glycerophospholipid metabolism related to IMF content, providing insights for strategies to enhance meat quality through genetic and epigenetic modifications.
