A Whole Genome Association Study on Meat Quality Traits Using High Density SNP Chips in a Cross between Korean Native Pig and Landrace

摘要

Consumers' preference on pork has enabled to produce high meat in pig industry. To meet this ends, studies on genetics to identify genes or chromosomal regions (QTL) that are associated with meat quality have been performed, and lots of QTLs (6,347) for economically important traits have been reported in pig (http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb/).
