Genome-wide association analyses identify known and novel loci for teat number in Duroc pigs using single-locus and multi-locus models

Abstract Background More teats are necessary for sows to nurse larger litters to provide immunity and nutrient for piglets prior to weaning. Previous studies have reported the strong effect of an insertion mutation in the Vertebrae Development Associated (VRTN) gene on Sus scrofa chromosome 7 (SSC7)...
