The pig (Sus scrofa) is an important species both as a food source and as a biomedical model for human biology. Significant progress has been made since the early 1990s to develop pig genetic, physical, and radiation hybrid maps. In addition, numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling economically important traits in pigs have been discovered. However, the identification of the causative mutations underlying pig QTL has been challenging. Completion of the porcine whole genome sequence and development of a large SNP collection for pigs will aid in the efforts to characterize underlying genetic control of important phenotypes. DNA microarray resources have also been developed for the pig, which not only facilitate transcriptional profiling studies for many biological processes, but also the incorporation of gene expression data into QTL studies will further enhance efforts to identify the genes and causative mutations controlling traits of importance.
