Research uncovers genomic insights into traits in pigs, suggesting implications for breeding and biomedical fields.

The research aims to enhance understanding of pig genomics to inform breeding and biomedical applications.
Generated reference assemblies and variant catalogues
Reconstructed population history using ancient genomes
Analyzed phenotypic traits such as growth and meat quality
Integrated genetic analyses with regulatory annotations
Improved continuity in reference assemblies led to reduced bias in structural variants
Established clear frameworks for evaluating lineage turnover and gene flow
Increased integration of association signals with regulatory context in growth and meat quality analyses

Tang et al. (2026) studied this question.
