A functional regulatory variant of MYH3 influences muscle fiber-type composition and intramuscular fat content in pigs.

A functional regulatory variant of MYH3 influences muscle fiber-type composition and intramuscular fat content in pigs.

Muscle development and lipid accumulation in muscle critically affect meat quality of livestock. However, the genetic factors underlying myofiber-type specification and intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulation remain to be elucidated. Using two independent intercrosses between Western commercial breeds...
