Parental Phasing Study Identified Lineage-Specific Variants Associated with Gene Expression and Epigenetic Modifications in European–Chinese Hybrid Pigs by Chenyu Li, Mei Ge, Keren Long, Ziyin Han, Jing Li, Mingzhou Li, Zhiyan Zhang

“…In this study, we established three crossbred pig families derived from distant genetic lineages and systematically identified variants from different lineages, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and structural variations (SVs). At the phase level, we quantitatively analyzed gene expression, four histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3K4me1, and H3K27me3), and the binding strength of transcription factor (CTCF) in backfat (BF) and longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle. …”
