Integrated genomic and transcriptomic analysis identifies novel candidate genes affecting carcass backfat thickness in pigs.

The carcass backfat thickness (BFT) provides a valuable indication of fat deposition and carcass leanness, which are essential for the determination of carcass grading and pricing. Identifying genetic loci and crucial genes related to BFT using integ…
