Figure 11. Pearson’s correlations between gene transcriptional level and phenotypic traits of breast muscle at two age stages.

The transcriptional level was calculated by FPKM (the fragment per kilobase of exon model per million mapped reads) of each gene. Phenotypic traits parameters: intramuscular fat content, intermuscular fat width, shear force, dripping losses and serum lipid level, oleic acid content.
