Genome-wide association study and accuracy of genomic prediction for teat number in Duroc pigs using genotyping-by-sequencing

Abstract Background The number of teats in pigs is related to a sow’s ability to rear piglets to weaning age. Several studies have identified genes and genomic regions that affect teat number in swine but few common results were reported. The objective of this study was to identify genetic factors t...
