Integrating genome-wide association studies and population genomics analysis reveals the genetic architecture of growth and backfat traits in pigs

Growth and fat deposition are complex traits, which can affect economical income in the pig industry. Due to the intensive artificial selection, a significant genetic improvement has been observed for growth and fat deposition in pigs. Here, we first investigated genomic-wide association studies (GW...
