This study uses multi-omics fine-mapping to identify a pleiotropic intestinal enhancer variant linked to pig growth and fatness through PMAIP1 regulation.

This study identifies rare variants under positive selection in wild boar linked to cold adaptation, showing convergent molecular evolution with humans.

SEIR is a multi-locus GWAS method that improves statistical power for identifying variant-phenotype associations by integrating an embedded selector with iterative single-marker scanning.

The paper annotates and categorizes functional variants in farm animals using epigenomic data, showing improved genomic prediction accuracy and identifying trait-related tissues and cell types.
