Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to identify copy number variants (CNVs) in Italian Large White pigs and test them for association with back fat thickness (BFT). Within a population of 12 000 performance-tested pigs, two groups of animals with extreme and divergent BFT estimated breeding values (EBVs; 147 with negative and 150 with positive EBVs) were genotyped with the Illumina Porcine SNP60 BeadChip. CNVs were...
