Genome association study through nonlinear mixed models revealed new candidate genes for pig growth curves

ABSTRACT: Genome association analyses have been successful in identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for pig body weights measured at a single age. However, when considering the whole weight trajectories over time in the context of genome association analyses, it is important to look at the mark...
