Genome-Wide Detection of Genetic Loci and Candidate Genes for Body Conformation Traits in Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire Crossbred Pigs

Genome-Wide Detection of Genetic Loci and Candidate Genes for Body Conformation Traits in Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire Crossbred Pigs

The Duroc × (Landrace × Yorkshire) hybrid pigs (DLY) are the most popular commercial pigs, providing consumers with the largest source of pork. In order to gain more insights into the genetic architecture of economically important traits in pigs, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) u...
