Genome-wide detection of CNV regions and their potential association with growth and fatness traits in Duroc pigs

Abstract Background In the process of pig breeding, the average daily gain (ADG), days to 100 kg (AGE), and backfat thickness (BFT) are directly related to growth rate and fatness. However, the genetic mechanisms involved are not well understood. Copy number variation (CNV), an important source of g...
