Abstract excerpt
Growth and carcass traits are of economic importance in the pig production, which affect pork quality and profitability of finishing pig production. This study used whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing technologies to identify potential candidate genes affecting growth and carcass traits in Duroc pigs. The medium (50-60 k) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays of 4 154 Duroc pigs from three populations...
