  1. Very important expressed muscle genes (VIP) identified as important for prediction of residual feed intake (n = 384 VIP), feed conversion ratio (FCR, n = 421 VIP) or net energy based-feed conversion ratio (FCRe, n = 318 VIP) were indicated. Genes indicated in bold font were further considered for qPCR analysis
