Heritability and genome-wide association of swine gut microbiome features with growth and fatness parameters.

Abstract excerpt

Despite recent efforts to characterize longitudinal variation in the swine gut microbiome, the extent to which a host's genome impacts the composition of its gut microbiome is not yet well understood in pigs. The objectives of this study were: i) to identify pig gut microbiome features associated with growth and fatness, ii) to estimate the heritability of those features, and, iii) to conduct a genome-wide...
