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 ...

Association analysis of mitochondrial genome polymorphisms with backfat thickness in pigs. [PDF]
Anim Biotechnol, 2023 Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations and associated effects on economic traits have been widely reported in farm animals, as these genetic polymorphisms can affect the efficiency of energy production and cell metabolism. In studies related to metabolism, the deposition of fat was highly correlated with mitochondria.

Genetic architecture of backfat thickness in laying hens: implications for extended egg production [PDF]
Genetics Selection EvolutionBackground To extend the egg production period of laying hens, it is important to understand the energy trade-offs during the late laying period (after 80 weeks of age) to avoid decreasing egg production or compromising health through inadequate body ...
