TL;DR: A functional regulatory sequence variant in porcine MYH3 is identified that provides novel insights into the genetic basis of the regulation of myofiber type ratios and associated changes in IMF in pigs and can play an important role in improving pork quality in current breeding programs.

TL;DR: This study identified both previously reported and novel QTL affecting baseline haematological parameters in pigs and the positional candidate genes identified here could play an important role in elucidating the genetic architecture of haem atological phenotype variation in swine and in humans.

TL;DR: Data suggest that Korean native pigs would be introduced from China after domestication from Chinese wild boars, in contrast to the expectation that Korean wild boar contributed to the gene pool of Koreannative pigs.

TL;DR: A genome-wide linkage analysis to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) that influence meat quality-related traits in a large F2 intercross between Landrace and Korean native pigs confirmed several previously reported QTLs and identified novel QTL for meat quality traits.

TL;DR: Results suggest the stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) gene has a strong effect on FA composition in the crossbred pig population.
