Genetic analysis of iris pigmentation in Swiss pig breeds identifies a missense KITLG variant as a potential causal factor for pale and heterochromatic irises

Wisent genome assembly uncovers extended runs of homozygosity and a large deletion that inactivates the thyroid hormone responsive gene

The paper presents a high-quality wisent genome assembly, identifies a deletion inactivating the THRSP gene, and shows its absence in bison compared to cattle and water buffalo.

Genome-Wide Association Testing for Haemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome in a Swiss Large White Pig Population

This study performs genome-wide association analysis for haemorrhagic bowel syndrome in Swiss Large White pigs but finds no significant genetic variants associated with the disease.

Comparison of two multi-trait association testing methods and sequence-based fine mapping of six QTL in Swiss Large White pigs

The paper compares two multi-trait association methods and fine-maps six QTL in pigs, finding similar results between methods but highlighting potential missed QTL in multi-trait analyses.

Characterization of a haplotype-reference panel for genotyping by low-pass sequencing in Swiss Large White pigs

The paper characterizes a haplotype-reference panel for low-pass sequencing genotyping in Swiss Large White pigs, showing high concordance with microarray genotypes and significant genetic differentiation between lines.

Infertility due to defective sperm flagella caused by an intronic deletion in DNAH17 that perturbs splicing

The paper identifies an intronic deletion in DNAH17 causing infertility in pigs due to defective sperm flagella by disrupting splicing and axoneme assembly.

A 63-bp insertion in exon 2 of the porcine KIF21A gene is associated with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita

The paper identifies a 63-bp insertion in the KIF21A gene as the causal mutation for arthrogryposis multiplex congenita in pigs.
