Integrating parental genomes to reduce reference bias and identify intramuscular fat genes in Qinchuan Black pigs
This study is the first to construct a parental genomic reference panel specifically for pig hybrid populations, which significantly reduces reference bias and exhibits superior performance in downstream analyses. This strategy offers new possibilities for genomic selection breeding of livestock and establishes a methodological foundation for precisely dissecting complex traits in hybrid populations.
