Abstract excerpt
Duroc (DD), Landrace (LL), and Yorkshire (YY) are among the most widely used commercial pig breeds, having undergone intense long-term selection within closed breeding systems. This study presents a comprehensive genomic analysis of genetic diversity, inbreeding patterns, and selection signatures in DD, LL, and YY populations that have been subject to close breeding for over 15 years. Genomic and pedigree data...
