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 …

In an experimental cross between Meishan and Dutch Large White and Landrace lines, 619
F2 animals and their parents were typed for molecular markers covering the entire porcine …

The use of molecular markers is an accessible technology with wide applications. One of
them is the construction of genetic maps and the location of quantitative trait loci (QTL). The …

Genetic markers have been used in experimental crosses in pigs to dissect genetic variation
in quantitative traits (eg, Andersson et al. 1994; Knott et al. 1998; Rohrer and Keele 1998) …

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 …

In the present study 3 connected F2 crosses were used to map QTL for classical fat traits as
well as fat-related metabolic and cytological traits in pigs. The founder breeds were Chinese …

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with large effects on fatness and growth have been identified
previously on pig chromosome 4 in an intercross between the European wild pig and Large …

For many species several similar QTL mapping populations have been produced and
analyzed independently. Joint analysis of such data could be used to increase power to …

A F2 population derived from a cross between European Large White and Chinese Meishan
pigs was established in order to study the genetic basis of breed differences for growth and …

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for fatness traits were reported recently in an experimental
Meishan× Large White and Landrace F 2 cross. To further investigate the regions on pig Chr …
