Evidence Against the Causal Relationship Between a Putative Cis-Regulatory Variant of MYH3 and Intramuscular Fat Content in Pigs

Evidence Against the Causal Relationship Between a Putative Cis-Regulatory Variant of MYH3 and Intramuscular Fat Content in Pigs

Improving meat quality has become the main goal of modern pig breeding. Intramuscular fat content (IMF) is an important trait influencing meat quality of livestock, but the molecular mechanism behind this trait is still unclear. Recently, Cho et al. reported the discovery of the first causal mutatio...
