Abstract

The use of molecular markers is an accessible technology with wide applications. One of them is the construction of genetic maps and the location of quantitative trait loci (QTL). The pig genetic map has allowed carrying out QTL analysis with chromosome or genome scan on F2 populations coming from crosses of divergent breeds. Many of these experiments have succeeded in identifying chromosomal regions associated with growth, backfat, and reproduction (see Rothschild and Plastow 1999 for a review). Nonetheless, and despite its increasing economic importance and the number of ongoing QTL experiments, the information concerning meat quality traits is much scarcer [...]
