Abstract excerpt
Osteoporosis is a multigenic complex disorder. Though the mouse and rat are used as experimental models for human osteoporosis, the pig bone remodeling cycle is histologically more similar to human than the rat or mouse. Moreover, livestock genomics have many advantages over model organisms and human studies for complex trait dissection. Hence, in the present work 66 bone-related genes were newly genetically...
