Changes in allele frequencies and genetic architecture due to selection in two pig populations

Abstract Background Genetic selection improves a population by increasing the frequency of favorable alleles. Understanding and monitoring allele frequency changes is, therefore, important to obtain more insight into the long-term effects of selection. This study aimed to investigate changes in alle...
