A comprehensive transcriptomic survey of the pig could enable mechanistic understanding of tissue specialization and accelerate its use as a biomedical model. Here the authors characterize four distinct transcript types in 31 adult pig tissues to dissect their distinct structural and transcriptional features and uncover transcriptomic variability related to tissue physiology.
