Survey of SSC12 regions affecting fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat using high density SNP data

Fatty acid composition is a critical aspect of pork because it affects sensorial and technological aspects of meat quality and it is relevant for human health. Previous studies identified significant QTLs in porcine chromosome 12 for fatty acid profile of backfat and intramuscular fat. In the presen...
