SNP-based and pedigree-based estimation of heritability and maternal effect for body weight traits in an F2 intercross between Landrace and Jeju native black pigs

SNP-based and pedigree-based estimation of heritability and maternal effect for body weight traits in an F2 intercross between Landrace and Jeju native black pigs

Growth traits, such as body weight, directly influence productivity and economic efficiency in the swine industry. In this study, we estimate heritability for body weight traits usinginformation from pedigree and genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip data. Four body weight phenotypes...
