Power and precision of QTL mapping in simulated multiple porcine F2 crosses using whole-genome sequence information
Abstract Background During the last two decades, many QTL (quantitative trait locus) mapping experiments in pigs have been conducted using F2 crosses established from two outbred founder breeds. The founder breeds were frequently chosen from the Asian and European type breeds. A combination of next-...
