Abstract excerpt
Genomic information could be used efficiently to improve traits that are expensive to measure, sex limited or expressed late in life. This study analyzed the phenotypic variation explained by major SNPs and windows for age at puberty in gilts, an indicator of reproductive longevity. A genome-wide association study using 56, 424 SNPs explained 25.2% of the phenotypic variation in age at puberty in a training set...
