Zusammenfassung:Meat quality is essential for consumer acceptance and ultimately impacts pork production profitability, and it is subject to genetic control. Here, an abstract of an article by Casiro et al performing genomewide association analysis of pork quality traits to increase our understanding of the genetic basis of variation in these traits is presented.
