Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Genetic Mechanisms Underlying Intersex and Aproctia in Large White Pigs

Congenital developmental abnormalities in piglets, such as intersex and aproctia, adversely affect survival rates, growth performance, and genetic breeding efficiency in pig populations. To elucidate their genetic basis, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 1030 Large White pigs. W...
