Genome-wide association study reveals genetic loci and candidate genes for meat quality traits in a four-way crossbred pig population

Meat quality traits (MQTs) have gained more attention from breeders due to their increasing economic value in the commercial pig industry. In this genome-wide association study (GWAS), 223 four-way intercross pigs were genotyped using the specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) and p...
