Abstract The genetic basis of complex traits and phenotypic differentiation remains unclear in pigs. Using nine genomes—seven of which were newly generated, high‐quality de novo assembled genomes—and 1081 resequencing genomes, we built a pan‐genome and identified 134.24 Mb nonredundant nonreference sequences, 1099 novel protein‐coding genes, 187,927 structural variations (SVs) and 30,143,962 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Analysis of selective domestication revealed BRCA1 associated with enhanced adipocyt…
