Expression data from longissimus dorsi of backcross Iberian x Landrace individuals

The integration of the results of QTL fine-mapping with microarray expression data offers a promising tool for understanding the genetic mechanisms influencing complex traits as fatty acid composition in pigs. The expression level of each probe may be treated as a quantitative trait and the marker genotypes used to map loci with regulatory effect on the gene expression level (eQTL)
