Abstract excerpt
A genomic scan was conducted on 540 reciprocal backcross Meishan x White composite pigs for hot carcass weight (HCWT); loin eye area (LOIN); carcass length (CRCL); belly weight (BELLY); and weight of trimmed ham, loin, picnic, and Boston butt adjusted to a constant live (TWPLWT) or carcass (TWPCWT) weight. Genetic markers spanned the entire porcine linkage map and were spaced at approximately 20-cM intervals....
