Abstract excerpt
We performed a genome-wide association study to map the genetic determinants of carcass traits in 350 Duroc pigs typed with the Porcine SNP60 BeadChip. Association analyses were carried out using the gemma software. The proportion of phenotypic variance explained by the SNPs ranged between negligible to moderate (hSNP2= 0.01-0.30) depending on the trait under consideration. At the genome-wide level, we detected...
