Abstract excerpt
As important quantitative traits, the growth rate and backfat thickness are controlled by multiple genes. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of the single and multiple SNPs of four candidate genes (IGF2, JHDM1A, COPB1 and TEF-1) on growth rate and backfat thickness. The four candidate genes were mapped on the p arm of SSC 2, and there are several QTLs, such as average daily gain, backfat...
