Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Miniature pigs have been increasingly used as mammalian model animals for biomedical research because of their similarity to human beings in terms of their metabolic features and proportional organ sizes. However, despite their importance, there is a severe lack of genome-wide studies on miniature pigs. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing analysis of 20 Micro-pigs obtained...
