GWAS on imputed whole-genome sequence variants reveal novel candidate mutations affecting feed efficiency and body composition traits in a crossbred swine population.
A pig's ability to convert consumed feed into saleable meat is an important component of production efficiency in the swine industry. Given the polygenic and environmentally influenced nature of feed efficiency and body composition traits, conventional selection approaches have limited ability to pinpoint causal geneti...
