Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been reported on various pig traits. We performed a GWAS to analyze 22 traits related to growth and fatness on two pig populations: a White Duroc × Erhualian F2 intercross population and a Chinese Sutai half-sib population. RESULTS: We identified 14 and 39 loci that displayed significant associations with growth and fatness traits at the...
