The present study aimed to identify the molecular markers for genes that influence intramuscular fat content (IFC), but not average backfat thickness (ABT). A total of 330 Suhuai pigs were slaughtered, and measurements of IFC and ABT were obtained. Phenotypic and genetic correlations between IFC and ABT were calculated. Thirteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among 12 candidate genes for IFC were analyzed, including <i>FABP3</i>, <i>LIPE</i>, <i>IGF1</i>, <i>IGF2</i>, <i>LEP</i>, <i>LEPR ...[more]
