Genome-wide association study to identify quantitative trait loci and positional candidate genes affecting sow lifetime productivity traits in Landrace and Yorkshire pigs.

Abstract excerpt

Sow lifetime productivity (SLP)-related traits are important because of their close association with overall productivity in the swine industry. Previous studies were limited to single breeds, making it difficult to comprehensively characterise breed-specific genetic architecture underlying SLP-related traits. To address this gap, we simultaneously analysed Landrace and Yorkshire populations to identify genetic...
