  •  QTL Experiment in Brief
    Animals:Individuals in the base population were mated at random and selection started from their progeny onwards for 4 generations.
     Breeds associated:
    n/a
    Design:Pigs from a base population were selected either for low backfat thickness at fxed live weight or high live weight at fxed age for QTL association analysis.
    Analysis:Transmission / disequilibrium test under the null hypothesis for equal numbers of transmissions to detect QTL co-transmission.

     Additional Information
    Comments:AFABP is thought to be associated with several traits: growth rate, back fat, intramuscular fat, etc.
