Identification of genome regions and important variations associated with expression level of MYH genes and its correlation with meat quality traits in pigs

Meat quality is one of the most important economic traits in pig breeding. It has been reported that the composition of type II muscle fibers is correlated with meat quality in pigs. Type II muscle fibers contain three isoforms, IIa, IIb and IIx, which contain specific myofibrillar proteins MYH2, MY...
