Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Average daily gain (ADG), age at 115 kg (AGE), backfat thickness (BF), and loin eye area (LEA) are key growth and carcass traits in pigs. However, breed-specific molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying these traits remain largely unknown. Here, we identified multiple candidate genes associated with these 4 traits from Duroc and Yorkshire pigs by three Genome-wide association study(GWAS) methods...
