Description
Heng Du and co-authors present a genome data set for Chinese native pigs in a 2024 paper. Pigs are central to farming in China, yet large scale sequencing of local breeds lagged behind. Gaps in the record held back studies of pig traits and breeding.
The project sequenced more than one thousand pigs from fifty populations across about two thirds of China's regions. Deep reads found over sixty million variants and built a reference panel that sharpens trait mapping in these breeds. Signals of an old mixing event track a wave of human migration in the thirteenth century. Other findings touch high altitude adaptation and body size. The resource opens fresh work on pig biology and breeding.
