Objective
The ultimate aim of this project was to map and identify genes controlling traits of economic and welfare significance in the pig. This aim encompassed two major goals -
- to map loci affecting traits of economic and biological significance in the pig
- to develop the molecular tools to allow the future identification and cloning of mapped loci
- regions of the genome influencing economically important traits, including fatness and growth rate have been identified
- the RN gene which affects meat quality has been mapped to chromosome 15
- the resolution and genome coverage of the PiGMaP linkage maps have been improved
- a five-fold genome coverage large fragment genomic library has been established in Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC) vectors
- large fragment genomic libraries have been established in alternative bacteriophage P1 and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vectors
- DNA sequence signatures (or expressed sequence tags, ESTs) have been established for >2,000 genes
- over 200 genes or ESTs have been added to the pig genome map
- minisatellite loci have been shown to predominantly telomeric in the pig
- genetic diversity in 12 (common and rare) pig breeds has been examined in a pilot study

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
