Genome-wide association study confirm major QTL for backfat fatty acid composition on SSC14 in Duroc pigs

BACKGROUND: Fatty acid composition contributes importantly to meat quality and is essential to the nutritional value of the meat. Identification of genetic factors underlying levels of fatty acids can be used to breed for pigs with healthier meat. The aim of this study was to conduct genome-wide ass...
