Genome-wide association study identifies markers associated with carcass and meat quality traits in Italian Large White pigs.

abstract：:Numerous mapping studies of complex traits in the pig have resulted in quantitative trait loci (QTL) intervals of 10-20 cM. To improve the chances to identify the genes located in such intervals, increased expressed sequence tags (EST)-based marker density, coupled with comparative mapping with species whose genomes h...
