Abstract excerpt
Growth directly influences production rate and therefore is one of the most important and well-studied traits in animal breeding. However, understanding the genetic basis of growth has been hindered by its typically complex polygenic architecture. Here, we performed quantitative trait locus mapping and genome-wide association studies for 10 growth traits that were observed over 2 years in 1,100 F1 captive-bred...
