Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants associated with traits such as age at puberty and litter size could provide insight into the underlying genetic sources of variation impacting sow reproductive longevity and productivity. Genomewide characterization and gene expression profiling were used using gilts from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln swine resource population ( = 1,644) to identify genetic variants associated with age at...
