technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a chloride ion channel gene fragment related to pig intramuscular fat deposition and application thereof. Background technique
[0002] Intramuscular fat refers to the fat deposited between muscle fibers or inside muscle fibers. It is closely related to meat quality and is one of the key factors affecting meat quality. The increase of intramuscular fat deposition can significantly improve the juiciness, color, flavor, tenderness and water holding capacity of meat. It is generally believed that the meat quality of pork with intramuscular fat deposition of 3.0% is better.
[0003] Because the molecular mechanisms underlying intramuscular fat deposition are poorly understood, there are no effective genetic markers (or molecular markers) for this trait. In view of the genetic complexity of the trait of intramuscular fat deposition, it is currently impossible to effectively select for this trait in breeding. We can only use local p...
