A systematic survey to identify lethal recessive variation in highly managed pig populations
BACKGROUND: Lethal recessive variation can cause prenatal death of homozygous offspring. Although usually present at low-frequency in populations, the impact on individual fitness can be substantial. Until recently, the presence of recessive embryonic lethal variation could only be measured indirect...
