Genome-Wide Association Study Identified a Quantitative Trait Locus and Two Candidate Genes on <i>Sus scrofa</i> Chromosome 2 Affecting Vulvar Traits of Suhuai Pigs

Vulvar size and angle are meaningful traits in pig production. Sows with abnormal vulva generally show reproductive disorders. In order to excavate candidate loci and genes associated with pig’s vulvar traits, 270 Suhuai pigs with vulvar phenotype were genotyped by a porcine single nucleotide polymo...
