Population genetic structure analysis and identification of backfat thickness loci of Chinese synthetic Yunan pigs [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Yunan is a crossed lean meat pig breed in China. Backfat thickness is the gold standard for carcass quality grading. However, over 14 years after breed registration, the backfat of Yunan thickened and the consistency of backfat thickness decreased ...

Genome-wide association study identifying genetic variants associated with carcass backfat thickness, lean percentage and fat percentage in a four-way crossbred pig population using SLAF-seq technology. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Carcass backfat thickness (BFT), carcass lean percentage (CLP) and carcass fat percentage (CFP) are important to the commercial pig industry. Nevertheless, the genetic architecture of BFT, CLP and CFP is still elusive.
