A linkage map of the porcine genome has been developed by segregation analysis of 239
genetic markers. Eighty-one of these markers correspond to known genes. Linkage groups …

Data were collected over the first 4 generations of a divergent selection experiment for residual
feed intake of Large White pigs having ad libitum access to feed. This data set was used …

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of growth and fatness data from a three-generation
experimental cross between Meishan (MS) and Large White (LW) pig breeds is presented. …

Litter characteristics at birth were recorded in 4 genetic types of sows with differing maternal
abilities. Eighty-two litters from F 1 Duroc × Large White sows, 651 litters from Large White …

Six-wk-old piglets of both sexes from European Large White (LW, n = 36) and Chinese
Meishan (MS, n = 24) breeds were individually exposed to a novel environment, a stressful …

A QTL analysis of behavioral and neuroendocrine responses to a “novel environment”
stress was conducted in a three-generation experimental cross between Meishan and Large …

Body composition, plasma parameters and cold resistance were compared in neonatal pigs
from Chinese (Meishan, Ms) and European (Large White, Lw) breeds. Newborn Ms pigs …

A three-step experimental design has been carried out to add evidence about the existence
of the RN gene, with two segregating alleles RN - and rn + , having major effects on meat …

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of the RN genotype on skeletal muscle
characteristics in pigs sharing otherwise the same polygenic background. Animals were …

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of female reproductive data from a three-generation
experimental cross between Meishan (MS) and Large White (LW) pig breeds is presented. …
