The invention relates to an SNP (
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
molecular marker influencing the backfat thickness character of a
large white pig and application of the SNP
molecular marker, and belongs to the technical field of pig character genetic improvement, and the SNP
molecular marker is located at a basic group of a 66584554 site of a fifth
chromosome of a pig
genome Sus scrofa 11.1 version. The SNP site related to the backfat thickness character of the
large white pig, provided by the invention, is detected and can be used for
breeding pig early-stage selection and remaining, that is, specific
genotype individuals under the site are selected for breeding remaining in actual breeding work, so that the accuracy and breeding efficiency of
large white pig meat character selection are improved, and the breeding efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, the
gene frequency related to excellent characters in the
population can be improved, and the backfat thickness character of the
population is improved in a targeted manner, so that the production performance and the economic benefit of the whole
population are improved.
