Iberian pigs and its crosses are produced to obtain high-quality meat products. The objective
of this work was to evaluate a wide panel of DNA markers, selected by biological and …

Meat quality traits (MQTs) have gained more attention from breeders due to their increasing
economic value in the commercial pig industry. In this genome-wide association study …

Meat colour is one of the most important meat quality traits affecting consumption desire.
Genetic improvement for meat colour traits is not so easy because pigs can be phenotyped …

The present study analyzed ROH and consensus ROH regions in 102 animals of eleven
diverse Indian goat (Capra hircus) breeds using whole genome sequencing. A total of …

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be useful in order to determine meat quality traits as
a rapid and non-destructive technique. The aim of the present study is to assess the …

Ningxiang pig is a breed renowned for its exceptional meat quality, but it possesses
suboptimal carcass traits. To elucidate the genetic architecture of meat quality and carcass …

Meat color is an attractive trait that influences consumers' purchase decisions at the point of
sale. To decipher the genetic basis of meat color traits, we performed a genome‐wide …

Simple Summary The Iberian pig is the most representative autochthonous breed of the
Mediterranean region with unique genetic and phenotypic characteristics. The breed has …

Several genetic markers, previously associated with meat quality traits, have been proposed
to be included in Iberian pig breeding programs. However, before being implemented …

Simple Summary The genetic mechanisms that regulate biological processes, such as
skeletal muscle development and growth, or intramuscular fat deposition, have attracted …
