A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies revealed significant QTL and candidate genes for loin muscle area in three breeding pigs

Abstract Loin muscle area (LMA) is an important production trait in pigs and is highly correlated with lean meat percentage. However, the genetic architecture of LMA has not yet been fully elucidated. This study conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and meta-analyses of LMA in Duroc (n = ...
