Abstract excerpt
High-density genotype data were analyzed in three lines of swine that express substantial variation in sow fertility to uncover regions of the genome potentially influenced during selection for litter size traits. The experimental lines examined include the Nebraska Index Line (NIL), which has been subjected to long-term selection for litter size; a control line derived from the same population that founded NIL;...
