Genome-wide association and transcriptome studies identify candidate genes and pathways for feed conversion ratio in pigs

Abstract Background The feed conversion ratio (FCR) is an important productive trait that greatly affects profits in the pig industry. Elucidating the genetic mechanisms underpinning FCR may promote more efficient improvement of FCR through artificial selection. In this study, we integrated a genome...
