Genome-wide analysis of genetic diversity and artificial selection in Large White pigs in Russia

Genome-wide analysis of genetic diversity and artificial selection in Large White pigs in Russia

Breeding practices adopted at different farms are aimed at maximizing the profitability of pig farming. In this work, we have analyzed the genetic diversity of Large White pigs in Russia. We compared genomes of historic and modern Large White Russian breeds using 271 pig samples. We have identified...

In this work, we have analyzed the genetic diversity of Large White pigs in Russia. We compared genomes of historic and modern Large White Russian breeds using 271 pig samples. We have identified 120 candidate regions associated with the differentiation of modern and historic pigs and analyzed genomic differences between the modern farms. The identified genes were associated with height, fitness, conformation, reproductive performance, and meat quality.https://peerj.com/articles/11595.pdfArtificial selectionBreedingSelection signalsFarming practices
