Meat quality traits include carcass weight (CW), backfat thickness (BFT), meat color (lightness, CIE L; redness, CIE a; yellowness, CIE b), cooking loss (CW), drip loss (DL), chemical compositions (protein, Pro; fat, Fat; collagen, Coll; moisture, Moi), shear force (SF), water holding capacity (WHC), and postmortem pH (pH24 hr; pH45 min).

SNV location is based on the pig genome assembly (SGSC Sscrofa9.2/susScr2). The triangle (▵) and circle (○) represent significant differences (▵, p<0.05; ○, p<0.01) in genotypes under a codominant model.
