Improving the accuracy of genomic prediction for meat quality traits using whole genome sequence data in pigs

Abstract Background Pork quality can directly affect customer purchase tendency and meat quality traits have become valuable in modern pork production. However, genetic improvement has been slow due to high phenotyping costs. In this study, whole genome sequence (WGS) data was used to evaluate the p...
