Investigation of allele-specific expression of genes involved in adipogenesis and lipid metabolism suggests complex regulatory mechanisms of PPARGC1A expression in porcine fat tissues

Table 1 Mean log₁₀-transformed PPARGC1A allelic transcript ratios in cDNA derived from subcutaneous fat, visceral fat and l. dorsi muscle, and genomic DNA (gDNA). Data were calculated after neutralizing bi-directional nature of PPARGC1A allelic expression
