a Based on 31,460 reads. Here and in the following tables, HN45 and HN75 represent samples obtained from Huanjiang mini-pigs fed a higher-nutrient diet for 45 and 75 days, respectively, and LN45 and LN75 represent samples obtained from those fed a lower-nutrient diet for 45 and 75 days, respectively.
