Abstract excerpt
Presence of major genes was investigated for two growth traits, backfat thickness, and two litter size traits in the F1 and F2 population of a cross between Meishan and European "White" pig lines. Segregation analyses were performed in a Bayesian setting, estimating the contribution of background polygenes and the contribution of a possible major gene to the expression of the traits considered. In a first...
