The FAGenomicH project: towards a whole candidate gene approach to identify markers associated with fatness and production traits in pigs and investigate the pig as a model for human obesity

Fatness in pigs is a complex trait for which a large number of genes are expected to be involved. Genetics of human obesity could take advantages from genetic information coming from the pig and vice versa. To these aims, a comprehensive candidate gene approach could be helpful. We catalogued all ge...
