High-quality whole-genome resequencing in large-scale pig populations with pedigree
structure and multiple breeds would enable accurate construction of haplotype and robust …

The mutation rate used in the previous analyses of pig evolution and demographics was
cursory and hence invited potential bias in inferring evolutionary history. Herein, we …

Pigs play a central role in human livelihoods in China, but a lack of systematic large-scale
whole-genome sequencing of Chinese domestic pigs has hindered genetic studies. Here …

Structural variants (SVs), such as deletions (DELs) and insertions (INSs), contribute
substantially to pig genetic diversity and phenotypic variation. Using a library of SVs …

In pig-to-human xenotransplantation, the transmission risk of porcine endogenous
retroviruses (PERVs) is of great concern. However, the distribution of PERVs in pig …

Structural rearrangements like copy number variations in the male-specific Y chromosome
have been associated with male fertility phenotypes in human and mouse but have been …

Mobile element variants (MEVs) have a significant and complex impact on genomic diversity
and phenotypic traits. However, the quantity, distribution, and relationship with gene …

Objective Min pigs are a unique genetic resource among local pig breeds in China. They
have more excellent characteristics in cold and stress resistance, good meat quality, and a …

As a country with abundant genetic resources of pigs, the domestication history of pigs in
China and the adaptive evolution of Chinese pig breeds at different latitudes have rarely …

Structural variations (SVs) are important DNA polymorphisms that contribute to genetic
diversity and evolution in humans, animals, and plants. In this study, we present a novel …
