Whole Genome Association Studies of Residual Feed Intake and Related Traits in the Pig

Abstract: BackgroundResidual feed intake (RFI), a measure of feed efficiency, is the difference between observed feed intake and the expected feed requirement predicted from growth and maintenance. Pigs with low RFI have reduced feed costs without compromising their growth. Identification of genes or genetic markers associated with RFI will be useful for marker-assisted selection at an early age of animals with improved feed efficiency.Methodology/Principal findingsWhole genome association studies (WGAS) for RFI, averag… Show more

“…In this same region, Onteru et al (2013) reported significant QTL for ADG when considering Yorkshire derived lines. Similarly, Pierzchala et al (2003) detected significant QTLs for ADG in this region when using purebred pigs of the three genetically diverse founder groups: Meishan, Pietrain, and European Wild Boar.…”

“…PGM1 catalyzes conversion of glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate, which is a useful metabolic intermediate [15]- [24]. Although the glucose 1-phosphate molecule is not a useful metabolic intermediate, PGM1 catalyzes conversion of glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate [23].…”

“…If the cell is in a low-energy state, glucose 6-phosphate will be metabolized along the glycolytic pathway, eventually yielding two molecules of adenosine triphosphate [22] [23]. On the other hand, the cell is in need of biosynthetic intermediates, glucose 6-phosphate enters the pentose phosphate pathway, where it undergoes a series of reactions to yield ribose and/or NADPH, depending on cellular conditions [24].…”
