Genome-wide association study for conformation traits in three Danish pig breeds.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 24 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Selection for sound conformation has been widely used as a primary approach to reduce lameness and leg weakness in pigs. Identification of genomic regions that affect conformation traits would help to improve selection accuracy for these lowly to moderately heritable traits. Our objective was to identify genetic factors that underlie leg and back conformation traits in three Danish pig breeds by...
