During the past decade, efforts to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) in pigs have resulted in
hundreds of QTL being reported for growth, meat quality, reproduction, disease resistance …

Pork meat is one of the most important sources of animal protein in the human diet. Its
nutritional properties are partly determined by intramuscular fat content and composition …

Background Improving pork quality can be done by increasing intramuscular fat (IMF)
content. This trait is influenced by quantitative trait loci (QTL) sought out in different pig …

Pigs from the F2 generation of a Duroc× Pietrain resource population were evaluated to
discover QTL affecting growth and composition traits. Body weight and ultrasound estimates …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) storage is a biological process with a strong impact on nutritional and
technological properties of meat and also with relevant consequences on human health …

In this study data from a commercial Norwegian slaughter pig cross was analysed to confirm
a previous reported quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting intramuscular fat (IMF) on porcine …

A series of multivariate mixed-inheritance models is fitted to the data from an outbred-line
pig cross commercially used in Norway. Each model accommodates information on …

Abstract We established the Pig Genome Database (PiGenome) for pig genome research.
The PiGenome integrates and analyzes all publicly available genome-wide data on pigs …

On pig chromosome 6, the SW71 microsatellite is located in the region corresponding to
several quantitative trait loci (QTL), such as those for intramuscular fat content and for body …

Marbling and intramuscular fat (IMF) content are commonly used to describe or measure
intramuscular fat deposition in meat, which contributes to taste, texture and flavor. Four types …
