Abstract excerpt
We performed a whole genome QTL analysis to confirm the existence of QTL affecting fatty acid composition and to investigate the effects of additive, dominance, imprinting, and epistatic interactions between QTL in an F(2) resource population. The F(2) population, comprising 166 pigs, was obtained by crossing a Duroc boar and a Meishan sow. The F(2) population was measured for fatty acid composition and was used...
