Genome-wide association study reveals a genomic region on SSC7 simultaneously associated with backfat thickness, skin thickness and carcass length in a Large White × Tongcheng advanced generation intercross resource population.

Abstract excerpt

In order to identify important genetic markers associated with backfat thickness, skin thickness and carcass length, we first constructed Large White × Tongcheng (Chinese local breed), an advanced generation intercross population, then performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to reveal the key genomic region associated with these traits through whole genome sequencing. The GWAS results of backfat...
