Identification of growth trait related genes in a Yorkshire purebred pig population by genome-wide association studies

Identification of growth trait related genes in a Yorkshire purebred pig population by genome-wide association studies

Objective The aim of this study is to identify genomic regions or genes controlling growth traits in pigs. Methods Using a panel of 54,148 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we performed a genome-wide Association (GWA) study in 562 pure Yorshire pigs with four growth traits: average daily gain...
