A study of vertebra number in pigs confirms the association of vertnin and reveals additional QTL.

BMC genetics - 30 Oct 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Formation of the vertebral column is a critical developmental stage in mammals. The strict control of this process has resulted in little variation in number of vertebrae across mammalian species and no variation within most mammalian species. The pig is quite unique as considerable variation exists in number of thoracic vertebrae as well as number of lumbar vertebrae. At least two genes have been...
