Abstract excerpt
Growth traits in pigs are governed by complex polygenic architectures, with most associated loci residing in non-coding regions that exert substantial influence on economically relevant phenotypes. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these regulatory elements remain poorly characterized. In this study, a non-coding mutation-designated as NR2C2 recognition motif sequence variation (NRMSV), located 2083 bp...
