Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with body composition and meat quality traits in Iberian pigs fattened in Montanera. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on 528 pigs for 29 phenotypic traits using genomic data from the GGP Porcine HD Array. After quality control, 526 animals and 35,894 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were retained for the...
