1results about How to "Genetic improvement" patented technology

This invention relates to the fields of molecular markers and animal genetic breeding technology, specifically to a molecular marker located on chromosome 4 of pigs that is associated with body size and carcass traits, and its application. Using the F7 generation of a chimeric family as the research object, this invention employs whole-genome resequencing and GWAS analysis to study and identify the molecular markers located on chromosome 4 of pigs associated with body size and carcass traits. By optimizing the dominant alleles of these molecular markers, the frequency of dominant alleles can be increased generation by generation, enabling rapid and accurate selection of body size and / or carcass traits, accelerating the progress of pig genetic improvement, and thus effectively improving the economic benefits of pig breeding.
