A meta analysis of genome-wide association studies for limb bone lengths in four pig populations

Limb bone length is an economically important trait in pigs, because it is negatively correlated with backfat thickness, and is also a determinant to the yield of hip and loin. Moreover, abnormal growth of the...

A genome-wide scan for quantitative trait loci affecting limb bone lengths and areal bone mineral density of the distal femur in a White Duroc × Erhualian F₂ population

Limb bone lengths and bone mineral density (BMD) have been used to assess the bone growth and the risk of bone fractures in pigs, respectively. It has been suggested that limb bone lengths and BMD are under ge...
