Genetic Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Growth and Fatness in Pigs
Leif Andersson,Chris Haley,Hans Ellegren,Sara Knott,M. Johansson,Kjell Andersson,L. Andersson-Eklund,Inger Edfors-Lilja,Merete Fredholm,Ingemar Hansson,Jan Håkansson,Kerstin Lundström +11 more
TL;DR: The European wild boar was crossed with the domesticated Large White pig to genetically dissect phenotypic differences between these populations for growth and fat deposition, and the genetic mapping of a major locus for fat deposition in the pig could have implications for understanding human obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple marker mapping of quantitative trait loci in a cross between outbred wild boar and large white pigs
Sara Knott,L Marklund,Chris Haley,Kjell Andersson,W. Davies,Hans Ellegren,Merete Fredholm,Ingemar Hansson,Bjørn Høyheim,Kerstin Lundström,Maria Moller,Leif Andersson +11 more
TL;DR: A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of growth and fatness data from a three generation pig experiment is presented, finding evidence for a large QTL affecting back fat and another for abdominal fat segregating on chromosome 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
A paternally expressed QTL affecting skeletal and cardiac muscle mass in pigs maps to the IGF2 locus
Jin-Tae Jeon,Örjan Carlborg,A. Törnsten,Elisabetta Giuffra,Valérie Amarger,Patrick Chardon,L. Andersson-Eklund,Kjell Andersson,Ingemar Hansson,Kerstin Lundström,Leif Andersson +10 more
TL;DR: A paternally expressed QTL affecting skeletal and cardiac muscle mass in pigs maps to the IGF2 locus in a manner similar to that seen in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sow removal in Swedish commercial herds
TL;DR: The sow removal pattern in Swedish commercial piglet producing herds, with group-housing of non-lactating sows, was described, revealed a considerable amount of unplanned removal of young sows and must be included in studies on sow removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social and Cultural Sustainability: Criteria, Indicators, Verifier Variables for Measurement and Maps for Visualization to Support Planning
Robert Axelsson,Per Angelstam,Erik Degerman,Sara Teitelbaum,Kjell Andersson,Marine Elbakidze,Marcus K. Drotz +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that it is possible to identify indicators and match them with verifier variables to support inclusion of social and cultural values in planning.
