Genetic variance of BMI in F2 population.

<p>(A) Yorkshire (B) Minipig (C) Duroc are representative images of pig breeds used to create the F2 resource population. D-G are representative images of animals from the F2 population. H represents the distribution of BMI in F2 pigs measured at 220 ± 45 days. (Photos: A and C courtesy DanBred; B courtesy Ellegaard Göttingen Minipigs; D, E, F, G courtesy Thomas Jakob Olsen).</p

QTLs influencing Obesity related Phenotypes in pigs.

<p>Fig 2. (Figure created using Phenogram- <a href="http://visualization.ritchielab.psu.edu/phenograms/plot" target="_blank">http://visualization.ritchielab.psu.edu/phenograms/plot</a>). Vertical columns labeled 1–18 represent porcine autosomes SSC1–18. QTL locations are marked on the chromosomes using a proximity algorithm that minimizes the overlap between individual QTLs for different phenotypes. Different phenotypes are represented by circles filled with different colors. The description of the abbreviated phenotypes is presented in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0137356#pone.0137356.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p
