Identification of Reproductive Trait-Associated Loci and Candidate Genes in Commercial Pigs via 50K SNP Genotyping and Genome-Wide Association Study

To unravel the genetic basis of economically critical reproductive traits in swine, we genotyped 839 sows from three commercial breeds (Duroc, Landrace, Yorkshire) using the Porcine Breeding Chip_plus 50K SNP array, and analyzed three key traits: total number born (TNB), number born alive (NBA), and...
