Genomic Regions and Candidate Genes Linked to Capped Hock in Pig

Abstract: Capped hock affects the exterior of pedigree pigs, making them unsalable and resulting in a negative impact on the efficiency of pig-breeding centers. The purpose of this paper was to carry out pilot studies aimed at finding genomic regions and genes linked to the capped hock in pigs. The studies were carried out on Landrace pigs (n = 75) and Duroc pigs (n = 70). To identify genomic regions linked to capped hock in pigs, we used smoothing FST statistics. Genotyping was performed with GeneSeek® GGP Porcine HD G… Show more

“…Dysregulation of adhesion molecules often causes various diseases, including inflammation and tumors [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Earlier, we also suggested a hypothesis about the connection of cadregins with Capped Hock in Pig [ 34 ]. In the future, it is vital to study cadregins in more detail in terms of limb tumors since this is a source of significant economic losses in pig production [ 35 , 36 ].…”

“…By targeted selection at the end of the 19th century, the Landrace breed was created in Denmark. In recent decades, the commercial pig breeding industry has triggered significant changes in selection programs with a focus on the cost effectiveness of production [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”

“…With adopting genomic selection most of the purebred elite lines of farm animals are genotyped using biochips with high and medium density [2]. As a rule, such methods as the genomewide association study (GWAS) and/or the Selection Signature Analysis [3] are used to evaluate the effects of selection based on the analysis of genomic data. These methods are successfully applied to identify genomic regions in rigorously selected farm animals.…”
