Abstract excerpt
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are used as polymorphic molecular markers in many species. They contribute very important functional variations in a range of complex traits; however, little is known about the variation of most SSRs in pig populations. Here, using genome resequencing data, we identified ~0.63 million polymorphic SSR loci from more than 100 individuals. Through intensive analysis of this dataset, we...
