Abstract excerpt
In this study, genome-wide association study (GWAS) results of porcine F2 crosses were used to map QTL in outcross Piétrain populations. For this purpose, two F2 crosses (Piétrain × Meishan, n = 304; Piétrain × Wild Boar, n = 291) were genotyped with the PorcineSNP60v2 BeadChip and phenotyped for the dressing yield, carcass length, daily gain and drip loss traits. GWASs were conducted in the pooled F2 cross...
