Retrotransposon Insertion Polymorphisms (RIPs) in Pig Reproductive Candidate Genes

Retrotransposons account for more than one-third of the pig reference genome. On account of the genome variability in different breeds, structural variation (SV) caused by retrotranspos-on-generated deletion or insertion (indel) may have a function in the genome. Litter size is one of the most impor...
