  •  QTL Experiment in Brief
    Animals:Animals were Duroc, Landrace, and Large White pigs.
     Breeds associated:
    Design:Following gene expression analysis and functional enrichment analysis, genes potentially involved in spermatogenesis and sexual maturity were identified. Animals were genotyped for two SNPs in PIWIL4 and analyzed for semen quality traits.
    Analysis:The general linear model procedure was used.
    Software:R software, SAS
