Genomic prediction and genome-wide association studies for additive and dominance effects for body composition traits using 50 K and imputed high-density SNP genotypes in Yunong-black pigs.

Abstract excerpt

Body composition traits are complex traits controlled by minor genes and, in hybrid populations, are impacted by additive and nonadditive effects. We aimed to identify candidate genes and increase the accuracy of genomic prediction of body composition traits in crossbred pigs by including dominance genetic effects. Genomic selection (GS) and genome-wide association studies were performed on seven body composition...
