Summary of this study. The D0–D28 goat perirenal adipose tissue has a change process from BAT to WAT. This change process is not caused by the programmed death of brown adipocytes and the proliferation of white adipocytes. In addition, known adipose tissue marker genes demonstrate interspecies differences. We also identified 12 potential marker genes (NMRK2, ACADVL, CKB, IDH2, ACO2, CHCHD10, NDUFV1, ACAD9, NDUFA6, PTGES2, LBP, and ACSF2) for goat BAT and 10 potential marker genes (RBP4, AOX1, RHOBTB3, HIF1A, APCDD1, GHR, THRSP, EIF4A2, ANXA1, and ZFAND5) for goat WAT. Twelve new candidate genes (NMRK2, PPIF, ENDOG, LOC102176710, KLHDC7A, ITGA7, TTC36, ABHD8, HCN2, MINDY1, GOLGA7B, and GRAMD1B) regulating brown fat thermogenesis were identified
