Genetics and animal domestication: new windows on an elusive process (2006, background): “This approach has already yielded significant insights into several genes (e.g. MC1R, POMC, Agouti and TYRP1) underlying differing coat and plumage patterns present in pigs, horses and chickens (Andersson, 2003), as well as specific genes (IGF2) involved in fat deposition and muscle mass in pigs (Va”

Sequencing technologies and genome sequencing (2011, background): “The GAS program was well implemented to animal genomes with identification of candidate genes and detection of casual quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN) discoveries (for example cattle: Grisart et al. 2001 and pig: Van Laere et al. 2003 ).”
