Welcome to the Pig Genome Resources page. This homepage brings together information on porcine-related resources from NCBI and the pig research community. We encourage your suggestions. The porcine genome assembly (NCBI build 3.1, based on Sscrofa10) is available in Map Viewer. Take a moment to BLAST your favorite gene sequence against the genome and explore the maps available for viewing. Learn more about the Gnomon gene prediction program and the resulting models available in Map Viewer. Note: The Swine Genome Sequencing Consortium has alerted NCBI of errors in the Sscrofa10 assembly. The problems include redundancy in the assembly where overlaps in sequences from adjacent BAC clones were not resolved and errors in the mapping of accessioned sequences to the AGP file. The Swine Genome Sequencing Consortium is planning to submit a new assembly, tentatively named Sscrofa10.2, as soon as possible. Photo courtesy of the Agricultural Research Service, USDA The pig (Sus scrofa) is an important model organism for health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and organ transplantation. It represents the artiodactyls, or cloven-hoofed mammals, which are an evolutionary clade distinct from the primates and rodents. Pigs exist in both feral and domesticated populations, which have distinct phenotypes and karyotypes.
