Sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018 Background In this work, we investigated sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs. A functional CD163 protein is required for infection by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, which is a serious

Rare and population-specific functional variation across pig lines
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022 Background It is expected that functional, mainly missense and loss-of-function (LOF), and regulatory variants are responsible for most phenotypic differences between breeds and genetic lines of livestock species that have undergone diverse selection ...
