The invention discloses function
candidate gene for affecting the meat quality trait of a pig and a
screening method of t function
candidate gene. The function candidate geneisRXRG, GPI, CPT2 and / or GABARAPL1. The
screening method comprises the following steps: (1), selecting longissimus muscles of two extreme pig breeds with large meat quality trait difference, extracting
DNA, and independently creating databases; (2), performing whole
genome DNA methylation sequencing on sample
DNA databases by adoptingan MeDIP-Seq technology; (3), obtaining maps of whole
genome DNA methylation levels of the two extreme pig breeds, and screeningdifferentialmethylationexpressed genes; (4), performing GO
functional annotation and KEGG
Pathway analysis on the differentialmethylationgenes, and screening out
functional genes and regulatory pathways related to meat quality traits, such as
fatty acid formation and
decomposition; (5), performing
DNA methylation and expression profileconjoint analysis through MeDIP-seq and
RNA-seqtest results, and obtaining the function
candidate gene of the meat quality trait of the pig. According to the method, the function candidate geneparticipatinginregulationof the meat quality trait of the pig is screened out, and a foundation is laid for the future deep research.
