Genome-wide association study identifies 12 new genetic loci associated with growth traits in pigs

Growth traits are among the most important economic traits in pigs and are regulated by polygenes with complex regulatory mechanisms. As the major indicators of growth performance, the backfat thickness (BFT), loin eye area (LEA), and days to 100 kg (D100) traits are commonly used to the genetics im...
