Single-variant genome-wide association study and regional heritability mapping of protein efficiency and performance traits in Large White pigs

Abstract Background Improvement of protein efficiency (PE) is a key factor for a sustainable pig production, as nitrogen excretion contributes substantially to environmental pollution. Protein efficiency has been shown to be heritable and genetically correlated with performance traits such as feed c...
