Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle fiber characteristics (MFCs) have been extensively studied due to their importance to human health and athletic ability, as well as to the quantity and quality of livestock meat production. Hence, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on nine muscle fiber traits by using whole genome sequence data in an eight-breed crossed heterogeneous stock pig population. This GWAS revealed 67...
