| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To determine the indices to improve fat-related traits in pigs, we clarified polymorphisms in promoter regions of the genes related to lipid synthesis and/or differentiation and proliferation of adipocytes by genome concentration and next-generation sequencing techniques. Furthermore, we extracted the polymorphisms affecting binding ability of transcription factors related to lipid synthesis or adipocytes. Some of the extracted polymorphisms were located within the genomic regions of quantitative trait loci of fat-related phenotypes, suggesting the availability of the polymorphisms for improvement of fat-related traits of pigs.
