Abstract excerpt
Backfat thickness is an economically important trait in pig production, yet the functional regulatory variants underlying it remain poorly characterized. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for backfat thickness at 100 kg (BF100) in a large Landrace population (n = 5923) using 13.46 million imputed SNPs. We identified two significant quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on SSC2 (1.21-3.69 Mb;...
