Associations of GH gene variants with performance traits in F2 generations of European wild boar, Piétrain and Meishan pigs.

abstract：:Equine mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) phylogeny reconstruction reveals a complex pattern of variation unlike that seen in other large domesticates. It is likely that this pattern reflects a process of multiple and repeated, although not necessarily independent, domestication events. Until now, no clear geographic affiliati...
