Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of Hypothalamus During the Onset of Puberty in Gilts

Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of Hypothalamus During the Onset of Puberty in Gilts

Although selection of the early age at puberty in gilts will make for a favorable effect on the reproductivity of sow, a large proportion of phenotypic variation in age at puberty of gilts cannot be explained by genetics. Previous studies have implicated hypothalamic DNA methylation in the onset of...
