Integrating genome-wide co-association and gene expression to identify putative regulators and predictors of feed efficiency in pigs

Abstract Background Feed efficiency (FE) has a major impact on the economic sustainability of pig production. We used a systems-based approach that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) co-association and gene-expression data to identify candidate genes, biological pathways, and potential...
