Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Backfat thickness is an important carcass composition trait for pork production and is commonly included in swine breeding programmes. In this paper, we report the results of a large genome-wide association study for backfat thickness using data from eight lines of diverse genetic backgrounds. METHODS: Data comprised 275,590 pigs from eight lines with diverse genetic backgrounds (breeds included Large...
