Differential expression and co-expression gene networks reveal candidate biomarkers of boar taint in non-castrated pigs

Boar taint (BT) is an offensive odour or taste observed in pork from a proportion of non-castrated male pigs. Surgical castration is effective in avoiding BT, but animal welfare issues have created an incentive for alternatives such as genomic selection. In order to find candidate biomarkers, gene e...
