Use of haplotypes to identify regions harbouring lethal recessive variants in pigs
Abstract Background Lethal recessive genetic variants are maintained at relatively low frequencies in a population in the heterozygous state, but by definition are fatal and therefore unobserved in the homozygous state. Since haplotypes allow the tagging of rare and untyped genetic variants, they ha...
