A variação genética nos genomas de 3,000 animais Porco Alentejano será estudada com sequenciação de última geração. Estudos de associação entre SNPs identificados e fenótipos recolhidos (crescimento, produtividade por porca, características da carcaça, qualidade da carne) identificarão marcadores moleculares para utilização no programa de melhoramento. Será ainda desenvolvido um sistema de traçabilidade molecular para a raça e os seus produtos. (Portuguese)

The genetic variation in the genomes of 3,000 Alentejan pig animals will be studied with last generation sequencing. Association studies between identified SNPs and collected phenotypes (growth, nut productivity, carcass characteristics, meat quality) will identify molecular markers for use in the improvement programme. A molecular traceability system will also be developed for the breed and its products. (English)
