Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are one of the most important population genetic approaches for dissecting the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in pigs. Compared with the large-scale publicly available summary statistics for human complex traits, pig GWAS are often conducted in relatively small populations with close relatedness using SNP arrays, and are therefore typically characterized by stronger linkage disequilibrium among markers. Despite these limitations, pig GWAS have generated valuable insights into the genetic architecture of complex traits. In this module, we integrated large-scale GWAS resources from PigBiobank, which curates data from 71,885 pigs across more than 100 breeds and covers 264 distinct complex traits. By combining these GWAS resources with our genomic annotation framework, we generated the curated list presented below
