Genetic control of residual variance offers opportunities to increase uniformity and resilience
of livestock and aquaculture species. Improving uniformity and resilience of animals will …

Growth is the most important economic trait in aquaculture. Improvements in growth-related
traits can enhance production, reduce costs and time to produce market-size fish. Catfish is …

The giant grouper, Epinephelus lanceolatus, is the largest coral reef-dwelling bony fish
species. However, despite extremely fast growth performance and the considerable …

Objective: Body weight is an important economic trait for a goat, which greatly affects animal
growth and survival. The purpose of this study was to identify genes associated with birth …

Background The genetic background of trait variability has captured the interest of ecologists
and animal breeders because the genes that control it could be involved in buffering various …

Litter traits are critical economic variables in the pig industry as they represent a production
indicator that can serve to determine sow fertility. In this study, a genome-wide association …

Piglet uniformity (PU) and farrowing interval (FI) are important reproductive traits related to
production and economic profits in the pig industry. However, the genetic architecture of the …

The differences in artificial and natural selection have been some of the factors contributing
to phenotypic diversity between Chinese and western pigs. Here, 830 individuals from …

Simple Summary Genome-wide association studies attempt to understand the genetic
structure through the expression of genes that influence a given productive trait. This work …

There is very little information about how the genome is regulated in domestic pigs (Sus
scrofa). This lack of knowledge hinders efforts to define and predict the effects of genetic …
