Abstract excerpt
In this study lean meat water-holding capacity (WHC) of a Duroc × Pietrain (DuPi) resource population with corresponding genotypes and transcriptomes was investigated using genetical genomics. WHC was characterized by drip loss measured in M. longissimus dorsi. The 60K Illumina SNP chips identified genotypes of 169 F2 DuPi animals. Whole-genome transcriptomes of muscle samples were available for 132 F2 animals...
