Identification of the putative regulatory regions and candidate genes associated with backfat thickness and intramuscular fat content traits in Xiang pigs

Abstract Backfat thickness (BFT) and intramuscular fat (IMF) content reflect fat deposition and meat quality in pigs. Numerous genetic variations contribute to differences in BFT and IMF for different pig breeds. However, limited information is available on the genetic variants associated with IMF d...
