Genome-wide association study identifies 22 new loci for body dimension and body weight traits in a White Duroc×Erhualian F intercross population

Objective Growth-related traits are important economic traits in the swine industry. However, the genetic mechanism of growth-related traits is little known. The aim of this study was to screen the candidate genes and molecular markers associated with body dimension and body weight traits in pigs. M...
