Characterization of porcine simple sequence repeat variation on a population scale with genome resequencing data

Abstract Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are used as polymorphic molecular markers in many species. They contribute very important functional variations in a range of complex traits; however, little is known about the variation of most SSRs in pig populations. Here, using genome resequencing data, we...
