Multi-tool copy number detection highlights common body size-associated variants in miniature pig breeds from different geographical regions by Jan Berghöfer, Nadia Khaveh, Stefan Mundlos, Julia Metzger

“…In total, 34 homozygous CNVs overlapped with exonic regions in all samples, suggesting a role in expressing specific phenotypes such as uniform growth patterns, fertility, or metabolic function. In addition, 386 copy number variation regions (CNVRs) shared by all breeds were detected, covering 33.6 Mb (1.48% of the autosomal genome). …”
