Abstract excerpt
Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) for loin eye area had been identified by linkage mapping studies, but the lack of their precise position hinders their application in the pig breeding industry. To map QTL for loin eye area to a precise genomic region, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using Illumina 60 K PorcineSNP60 Beadchip in four swine populations: 819 F2 pigs, 273 Laiwu pigs, 434...
