Abstract excerpt
Pork tenderness is a critical determinant of meat quality and is primarily assessed by shear force measurement. In this study, the shear force of the longissimus dorsi muscle was measured in 413 Large White pigs. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on imputed data identified multiple loci significantly associated with shear force on chromosomes 5, 8, 13, and 14. Comparison with the PigQTLdb indicated...
