Abstract excerpt
In the pork industry chain, carcass cutting is crucial for enhancing the commercial value of pork carcasses. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying carcass component weights remain poorly understood. Here, we used a combined genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach that integrated single- and multi-locus models to map genetic markers and genes associated with the weights of seven carcass components in...
