Abstract excerpt

A linkage map of pig chromosome 6 was constructed using a wild pig/Large White intercross pedigree. The map comprises 23 polymorphic loci, and the sex-average map length is approximately 170 cM. The study adds three new genes to the chromosome 6 map: the extension (E) coat color locus, and the bl...
