Abstract excerpt
Backfat thickness (BFT) is an important carcass composition trait and regarded as a breeding focus. Our initial transcriptome analysis of pig BFT identified GLI pathogenesis-related 1 (GLIPR1) as one of the promising candidate genes. This study was conducted to identify the expression profiles, polymorphisms, and genetic effects of the GLIPR1 gene on BFT in pigs. The expression of the GLIPR1 gene existed in every...
