What is pig-derived genetic testing?

Detection of pig-derived genes is a genetic detection method to evaluate the genetic background, variety authenticity and disease susceptibility of pigs by detecting the mutation, expression or haplotype of specific genes in pig genome. The detection of pig-derived genes is realized by the following steps: sample collection, genome extraction, gene mutation detection, gene expression detection, haplotype analysis and disease susceptibility evaluation. Through the detection of pig-derived genes, we can identify the genetic background of pigs, evaluate the authenticity of breeds, predict the susceptibility to diseases and other functions, which is helpful to improve the yield and quality of pig industry and ensure food safety and public health safety.
