Abstract excerpt
Polydactyly is a genetic abnormality that affects both pig welfare and industry profits. Despite efforts to explore the genetic basis of pig polydactyly, progress remains limited. In this study, we analyzed a group of Large White pigs with postaxial polydactyly, including 29 cases and 79 controls from 24 families. High-depth sequencing was performed on 20 pigs, while low-depth sequencing was improved through...
