Abstract excerpt
Growth-related traits are complex and economically important in the livestock industry. The aim of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) and the associated positional candidate genes affecting growth in pigs. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using the porcine single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 60K bead chip. A mixed-effects model and linear regression approach were used...
