Mapping of quantitative trait loci and confirmation of the FAT1 region on chromosome 4 in an F2 population of pigs

Mapping of quantitative trait loci and confirmation of the FAT1 region on chromosome 4 in an F2 population of pigs

The objective was to map QTL on porcine chromosome 4 and to associate them with carcass and internal organ traits in an F2 population. The F1 population was produced by outbreed crossing, using two native Brazilian breed Piau boars and 18 commercial sows. A total of 617 F2 animals issued from 11 F1...
