Abstract:

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an effective method to detect complex diseases and traits genetics by the genetic markers in the range of the genome,based on association study.To find new SNPs,QTLs and candidate genes,researchers employ GWAS to study main traits in pigs.It is important to research on molecular genetics of pig breeding and study on related functional genes and QTNs.This review will provide reference for research progress of GWAS about important traits in pig.Furthermore,the paper introduces the research progress of QTN briefly.
