Genome-wide panels of SNPs have recently been used in domestic animal species to map
and identify genes for many traits and to select genetically desirable livestock. This has led …

Human studies of the influence of aging and other factors on intermuscular fat (INTMF) were
reviewed. Intermuscular fat increased with weight loss, weight gain, or with no weight …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is an important determinant of quality characteristics such as
tenderness, juiciness and flavour, and of its acceptability by consumers. Research has …

Abstract Porcine chromosome 6 (SSC6) has been reported to have QTL affecting
intramuscular fat content (IMF) in multiple populations. The objective of this study was to …

Obesity represents a major global public health problem that increases the risk for
cardiovascular or metabolic disease. The pigs represent an exceptional biomedical model …

Imprinted quantitative trait loci (QTL) are commonly reported in studies using line-cross
designs, especially in livestock species. It was previously shown that such parent-of-origin …

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 …

PCR-RFLP was used to analyze the polymorphisms of MC4R, LEP, H-FABP genes in a
swine breed composite (DIV 2) and 4 swine breeds (Yorkshire, Landrace, Meishan, Bamei) …

The porcine adenylate kinase 3-like 1 (AK3L1) gene is considered as a potential candidate
gene among the encoded isoforms of adenylate kinase for meat quality based on the …

This study was carried out to identify SNP associated with fatness traits on pig chromosome
6. In total, 11,067 putative genomic variations were detected in 125 complete bacterial …
