“…Gene expression tools are often used to study metabolic pathways in farm animals, particularly of IMF. These works are highly valuable for clean meat research, as they are not aimed for regenerative medicine, but rather focus on meat traits, such as marbling (Lee et al, 2010;Sadkowski et al, 2014;Chen et al, 2015;Hudson et al, 2015;Meadus et al, 2018), myogenesis (Wang et al, 2005(Wang et al, , 2015Lee et al, 2014;Dai et al, 2016), and sensory qualities (Bernard et al, 2007;Hocquette et al, 2007;Bongiorni et al, 2016;Tizioto et al, 2016). Research on correlations between gene expression and meat quality has been recently summarized in several publications.…”
