Abstract excerpt
The carcass backfat thickness (BFT) provides a valuable indication of fat deposition and carcass leanness, which are essential for the determination of carcass grading and pricing. Identifying genetic loci and crucial genes related to BFT using integrated multi-omics methods offers significant contributions to the genetic advancement of pig. In the present study, 418 Chinese Suhuai pigs were slaughtered, and...
