The invention is suitable for the technical field of
molecular genetics, and provides an SNP
molecular marker related to pig backfat thickness and application thereof. The invention studies and determines that the pig backfat thickness related
molecular marker is located at the 95583333rd site (corresponding to the 701st basic group A / G
mutation of SEQ ID NO: 1) of the No.18
chromosome of the international pig
reference genome version 11.1, and verifies the influence effect of the
molecular marker on the pig backfat thickness character. And when the basic group at the site is A, the pig has lower
back fat thickness. On the basis, a molecular marker-assisted selection breeding technology for rapidly improving the backfat thickness character of the pig is established, the frequency can be increased generation by generation by optimizing the dominant
allele (A), the backfat thickness of the
breeding pig is remarkably reduced, the genetic improvement process of commercial pig herds containing landrace and
large white pig blood lineage is accelerated, and the breeding efficiency is improved; the sales profit is increased for enterprises, the core competitiveness is improved, and the
economic benefits of commercial pigs are improved.
