Whole genome variants across 57 pig breeds enable comprehensive identification of genetic signatures that underlie breed features

Abstract Background A large number of pig breeds are distributed around the world, their features and characteristics vary among breeds, and they are valuable resources. Understanding the underlying genetic mechanisms that explain across-breed variation can help breeders develop improved pig breeds....
