Analysis of porcine body size variation using re-sequencing data of miniature and large pigs

Abstract Background Domestication has led to substantial phenotypic and genetic variation in domestic animals. In pigs, the size of so called minipigs differs by one order of magnitude compared to breeds of large body size. We used biallelic SNPs identified from re-sequencing data to compare various...
