Weighted single-step GWAS identified candidate genes associated with semen traits in a Duroc boar population

Abstract Background In the pig production industry, artificial insemination (AI) plays an important role in enlarging the beneficial impact of elite boars. Understanding the genetic architecture and detecting genetic markers associated with semen traits can help in improving genetic selection for su...
