Genome‐wide association study reveals new QTL and functional candidate genes for the number of ribs and carcass length in pigs
9 days ago - By Animal Genetics
Abstract
The number of ribs and carcass length are important economic traits in pig breeding programs. Pigs with a higher NR and longer CL produce greater pork yields. In the present study, Suhuai pigs with NR and CL phenotypes were genotyped using the Neogen ® GGP Porcine 80 K SNP array to identify the QTL affecting NR and CL and dissect the candidate genes for the two traits. The SNP-chip data was imputed to the whole-genome sequence to increase the probability of identifying causal variants. Through genome-wide association studies based on both chip and iWGS data, significant SNPs were...
