Genomic variants associated with the number and diameter of muscle fibers in pigs as revealed by a genome-wide association study
Muscle fiber characteristics comprise a set of complex traits that influence the mea quality and lean meat production of livestock. However, the genetic and biological mechanisms regulating muscle fiber characteristics are largely unknown in pigs. Based on a genome-wide association study (GWAS) perf...
