Abstract excerpt
The Yorkshire breed uses white coat color as a selection requirement to indicate breed purity. In this study, genomic information from chromosomal regions, as well as the whole genome, was applied to estimate breed composition of purebred Yorkshire animals. Genotypes for approximately 60,000 SNP from the Illumina PorcineSNP60 BeadChip (60K) were available for reference animals for which the genetic background was...
