Functional genomic dissection and prediction of body size traits in pigs
Body Size traits, particularly body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) at slaughter age, determine the meat yield and productivity of pigs. These phenotypes are shaped by numerous small-effect polygenes and regulated mostly by non-coding variants. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified sever...
