Abstract excerpt
The identification of genomic regions that affect additive genetic variation and contain genes involved in controlling growth and fat deposition has enormous impact in the farm animal industry (e.g., carcass merit and meat quality). Therefore, a genomewide association study was implemented in an F pig population using a 60,000 SNP marker panel for traits related to growth and fat deposition. Estimated genomic EBV...
