Multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies candidate genes for computed tomography-based carcass composition traits in pigs
Our study demonstrates the efficacy of computed tomography phenotyping coupled with multi-omics integration for dissecting the genetic architecture of porcine carcass composition traits. The prioritized variants and genes provide valuable targets for molecular breeding programs to enhance meat quality in pigs.
