Abstract:Dissecting genetic variation of local breeds is important for the success of conservation. In this research, we investigated the genomic variation of Colombian Creole (CR) pigs, with a focus on the breed-specific variants in the exonic region of 34 genes with reported effects on adaptive and economical traits. Seven individuals of each of the three CR breeds (CM: Casco de Mula; SP: San Pedreño; and ZU: Zungo) were whole-genome sequenced along with seven Iberian (IB) pigs and seven pigs of each of the four most… Show more
