Lusheng Huang, Jun Ren and colleagues report the genome sequences of 69 pigs, representing 11 geographically distinct breeds and 3 wild boar populations, from within China. They identify loci related to high- and low-latitude adaptation and infer a likely ancient introgression event in northern Chinese pigs.
