A genome-wide association study to detect QTL for commercially important traits in Swiss Large White boars.
The improvement of meat quality and production traits has high priority in the pork industry. Many of these traits show a low to moderate heritability and are difficult and expensive to measure. Their improvement by targeted breeding programs is challenging and requires knowledge of the genetic and...
