This paper estimates genetic parameters and performs GWAS to analyze service sire effects on litter size and its relationship with semen quality in three terminal sire lines.

This study integrates longitudinal metabolite profiles into genomic prediction models for pig traits, showing improved prediction accuracy depending on the trait and timepoint of metabolite sampling.

This study evaluates the impact of using whole-genome sequence data for genomic predictions in pig lines, finding modest improvements in accuracy for maternal lines but mixed results for terminal lines.

AlphaPart partitions genetic trends to identify sources of genetic gain in breeding programs using a simulated pig example.
