Abstract excerpt
The Chinese Qingyu pig breed is an invaluable indigenous genetic resource. However, few studies have investigated the genetic architecture of meat quality traits in Qingyu pigs. Here, 30 purebred Qingyu pigs were subjected to whole-genome sequencing. After quality control, 18 436 759 SNPs were retained. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were then performed for meat pH and color at three postmortem time...
