Abstract
This study investigated the genetic basis of teat number variation in Dongliao black pigs. A total of 765 pigs were genotyped using the Porcine 50K SNP chip, and their teat numbers were recorded. Heritability estimates for total teat number (TTN) and teat pair number (TPN) were 0.091 and 0.097, respectively. Genome-wide association studies identified 74 significant SNPs for TTN and 105 for TPN. Nine candidate genes related to the teat number were identified: CSNK1G1, PLEKHM2, CABLES1, SLC25A21, RYR3, PIGH, GUCY1A1, RAPGEF2, and TRPC4AP. These findings provide insights into the genetic architecture of teat number variation in Dongliao black pigs.

期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Genetics publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on genes and genomes relating to all the domains of life, from humans to plants to livestock and other model organisms. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of the world’s leading experts, this multidisciplinary, open-access journal is at the forefront of communicating cutting-edge research to researchers, academics, clinicians, policy makers and the public.
The study of inheritance and the impact of the genome on various biological processes is well documented. However, the majority of discoveries are still to come. A new era is seeing major developments in the function and variability of the genome, the use of genetic and genomic tools and the analysis of the genetic basis of various biological phenomena.
