Genomic evidence for human-mediated introgressive hybridization and selection in the developed breed

Abstract Background The pig (Sus Scrofa) is one of the oldest domesticated livestock species that has undergone extensive improvement through modern breeding. European breeds have advantages in lean meat development and highly-productive body type, whereas Asian breeds possess extraordinary fat depo...
