Description
Lu leads a large team comparing meat quality across cattle muscles with multi omics, in work from twenty twenty-six. Pingliang Red cattle produce cuts that differ in quality. Why topside, striploin, and clod differ at the molecular level was unknown.
Protein and metabolite profiling were integrated for the three muscles. Acidity and a color value were higher in topside than in the other cuts. Each muscle held a distinct set of abundant metabolites, in the dozens. Core pathways behind the variation were uncovered. Such maps can guide breeding and handling to raise the quality of lower value cuts.
