Swine Genome

The main theme of this workshop is centered on comparative analyses of the pig genome for understanding of complex phenotypes like growth and reproduction. The first part includes current approaches using the pig genome for genetic control of growth and fat deposition traits, the economic importance to pork industry, and potential applications to human obesity. The second part reviews genomic approaches for study animal reproduction, health and infectious diseases using next-generation sequencing technologies, transcriptome and bioinformatic analyses as well as the development of a dynamic database system that can integrate the various research components of the pig genome.
