¹Differentially expressed genes between time points determined by RNA-Seq analysis for longissimus dorsi muscle from offspring at day 135 and birth. The top 20 genes with the greatest significance and the greatest fold change (increased and decreased) are presented. Fold change, log₂ fold change; FDR-adj, false discovery rate adjusted P-value.
