Abstract excerpt
Growth-related traits are important economic traits in the pig industry that directly influence pork production efficiency. To detect quantitative trait loci and candidate genes affecting growth traits, genome-wide association studies were performed for backfat thickness (BF) and loin muscle depth (LMD) in 370 Chuying-black pigs using Illumina PorcineSNP50 BeadChip array. We totally identified 14 BF-associated...
