Progeny-testing of full-sibs IBD in a SSC2 QTL region highlights epistatic interactions for fatness traits in pigs
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Many QTL have been detected in pigs, but very few of them have been fine-mapped up to the causal mutation. On SSC2, the <it>IGF2</it>-intron3-G3072A mutation has been described as the causative polymorphism for a QTL unde...
