- Title
Progeny-testing of full-sibs IBD in a SSC2 QTL region highlights epistatic interactions for fatness traits in pigs.
- Abstract
The article offers information on a study conducted by the authors related to quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for mutation in pigs. It states that five recombinant full-sibs were progeny-tested, out of which only two showed OTL for fatness traits. It mentions that hypothesis of an interaction with another region in genome was proposed to explain these differences. It highlights that on assumtion of interactions with other chromosomal regions, the OTL was mapped to a 30 centimeter region.
