Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Carcass traits are important in pig breeding programs for improving pork production. Understanding the genetic variants underlies complex phenotypes can help explain trait variation in pigs. In this study, we integrated a weighted single-step genome-wide association study (wssGWAS) and copy number variation (CNV) analyses to map genetic variations and genes associated with loin muscle area (LMA), loin...
