Abstract

This article explores the evolutionary history and future possibilities of porcine genetics. Pigs, descended from wild boars, have been selectively bred by humans for thousands of years, resulting in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and characteristics. The genetic diversity within pig populations holds potential for future breeding programs and scientific research, particularly in areas such as disease resistance and meat quality. Recent advancements in genomic technology, including the mapping of the pig genome and gene editing techniques, have provided valuable insights and the potential for more targeted breeding strategies. By harnessing genetic diversity and cutting-edge research, the future of porcine genetics holds opportunities for innovation in agriculture and medicine. [Extracted from the article]
