Using genome wide association studies to identify common QTL regions in three different genetic backgrounds based on Iberian pig breed.

One of the major limitation for the application of QTL results in pig breeding and QTN identification has been the limited number of QTL effects validated in different animal material. The aim of the current work was to validate QTL regions through joint and specific genome wide association and hapl...
