Haplotype Block Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes and QTLs for Meat Quality and Disease Resistance in Chinese Jiangquhai Pig Breed

The Jiangquhai (JQ) pig breed is one of the most widely recognized pig populations in China due to its unique and dominant characteristics. In this study, we examined the extent of Linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype block structure of the JQ pig breed, and scanned the blocks for possible gene...
