Objective
An important aspect of quality of life in the European community is the availability of healthy high quality food, including meat. The project aims at these of genomic data and natural regulation mechanisms to offer new approaches to improve pork quality. An important proportion of the habitability of meat quality is determined during prenatal muscle development. Therefore breed-specific gene expression in embryonic muscle tissue of extreme breeds in meat quality and muscularity will be studied to detect functional candidates that will be mapped and screened for polymorphism. Genotypic variation will be associated with phenotypic differences in technological meat quality parameters in commercial pigs. This project will provide more than 100 novel genes/Sets physically mapped, about 80 new polymorphism DNA markers (Snips) and 10 Snips with proven association to meat quality traits suitable for implementation in conventional production systems.
