Combining genome‐wide association study based on low‐coverage whole genome sequencing and transcriptome analysis to reveal the key candidate genes affecting meat color in pigs
1 month ago | By Animal Genetics
Abstract
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 association study based on low-coverage whole-genome sequencing. In total, 669 × pigs were genotyped using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing. Single nucleotide polymorphism calling and genotype imputation were performed using the BaseVar + STITCH channel. Six individuals with an average depth of 12.05× whole-genome resequencing were randomly selected to assess the accuracy of imputation...
