Refined localization of the FAT1 quantitative trait locus on pig chromosome 4 by marker-assisted backcrossing.

BMC genetics - 17 Mar 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A major QTL for fatness and growth, denoted FAT1, has previously been detected on pig chromosome 4q (SSC4q) using a Large White - wild boar intercross. Progeny that carried the wild boar allele at this locus had higher fat deposition, shorter length of carcass, and reduced growth. The position and the estimated effects of the FAT1 QTL for growth and fatness have been confirmed in a previous study. In...
