An association analysis for 14 candidate genes mapping to meat quality quantitative trait loci in a Duroc pig population reveals that the ATP1A2 genotype is highly associated with muscle electric conductivity.

abstract：:The KIT locus has been suggested to be a strong candidate region linked with whole-body roan in the F(2) population produced by intercrosses between Landrace and Korean Native pigs. In this manuscript, we report the finding of a novel alternative splicing event in the porcine KIT gene that results in the skipping of e...
