Swine Genome

The economic importance of pork industry in Asia supports the use of the swine genome information and genomic tools applying to healthier pig and safer pork production. The published draft of the swine genomes was also illustrated the promising roles of the comparative projects for human biology and biomedical research. The swine genome workshop will cover current genomic approaches for study breed history, diversity, improvement of reproduction, quality and health diseases using genomic tools as well as the development of pig organs safe for human transplant using targeted gene-editing technologies that can integrate the various research components of the pig genome
