Abstract excerpt
Socially affected traits in pigs are controlled by direct genetic effects and social genetic effects, which can make elucidation of their genetic architecture challenging. We evaluated the genetic basis of direct genetic effects and social genetic effects by combining single-locus and haplotype-based GWAS on imputed whole-genome sequences. Nineteen SNPs and 25 haplotype loci are identified for direct genetic...
