Abstract excerpt
Meat color is an attractive trait that influences consumers' purchase decisions at the point of sale. To decipher the genetic basis of meat color traits, we performed a genome-wide association study based on low-coverage whole-genome sequencing. In total, 669 (Pietrain × Duroc) × (Landrace × Yorkshire) pigs were genotyped using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calling and...
