Genome-wide association study reveals genetic loci and candidate genes for average daily gain in Duroc pigs

Objective Average daily gain (ADG) is an important target trait of pig breeding programs. We aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genomic regions that are associated with ADG in the Duroc pig population. Methods We performed a genome-wide association study involving 390 Duroc...
