  •  QTL Experiment in Brief
    Animals:Animals were from a Duroc-Yorkshire-Landrace composite population.
     Breeds associated:
    Design:Animals were genotyped using the Illumina PorcineSNP60 BeadChip and pubertal controls were compared to gilts that failed to display estrus by 240 days of age. Following quality control, 49345 SNPs remained for final analysis.
    Analysis:GWAS was carried out using logistic regression.
    Software:SAS, PLINK
