Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of six genes (TTN, PRKAG3, CAST, CTSB, CTSF, and MYPN), known for associations with carcass and meat quality traits, post mortem proteolysis, were screened in a commercial crossed population of 368 heavy pigs (Large White x Landrace)×Duroc, reared according to the rules of Italian Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) dry-cured ham.
