Identifying genes associated with quantitative traits in pigs: integrating quantitative and molecular approaches for meat quality
Two major strategies are used to identify genes that are involved in complex traits, genome scanning and candidate gene approaches. While a quantitative trait locus (QTL) strategy relies on a scan of the entire genome combined with phenotypic measurements, a candidate gene approach tries to identify...
