Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The current availability of genotypes for very large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is leading to more accurate estimates of inbreeding coefficients and more detailed approaches for detecting inbreeding depression. In the present study, genome-wide information was used to detect inbreeding depression for two reproductive traits (total number of piglets born and number of piglets...
