BACKGROUND: Crossovers are crucial in meiosis and can break up the link between neighboring loci, creating novel allele combinations and genetic variation. However, their potential use in livestock breeding programs remains unexplored. Here, we studied the patterns of crossover count in two pig lines with different selection histories. We analyzed genomic data from over 47,000 individuals in a boar line and...
