Fine mapping of a QTL for ear size on porcine chromosome 5 and identification of high mobility group AT-hook 2 (<it>HMGA2</it>) as a positional candidate gene

Fine mapping of a QTL for ear size on porcine chromosome 5 and identification of high mobility group AT-hook 2 (<it>HMGA2</it>) as a positional candidate gene

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ear size and shape are distinct conformation characteristics of pig breeds. Previously, we identified a significant quantitative trait locus (QTL) influencing ear surface on pig chromosome 5 in a White Duroc × Erhualian F<sub>2...
