A Whole Genome Sequencing-Based Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals the Potential Associations of Teat Number in Qingping Pigs

Teat number plays an important role in the reproductive performance of sows and the growth of piglets. However, the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes for the teat number-related traits in Qingping pigs remain unknown. In this study, we performed GWAS based on whole-genome single-nuc...
