Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The domestic pig (Sus scrofa) is both an important livestock species and a model for biomedical research. Exome sequencing has accelerated identification of protein-coding variants underlying phenotypic traits in human and mouse. We aimed to develop and validate a similar resource for the pig. RESULTS: We developed probe sets to capture pig exonic sequences based upon the current Ensembl pig gene...
