Genomic Analysis Reveals Specific Patterns of Homozygosity and Heterozygosity in Inbred Pigs

The inbred strain of miniature pig is an ideal model for biomedical research due to its high level of homozygosity. In this study, we investigated genetic diversity, relatedness, homozygosity, and heterozygosity using the Porcine SNP60K BeadChip in both inbred and non-inbred Wuzhishan pigs (WZSPs)....
