Abstract excerpt
Sequence analysis of PCR products of a 343-bp fragment from exon 29 of the porcine APOB gene of four Erhualian and four Landrace pigs revealed a missense G/C substitution at position of 6117 in this gene. Two allele-specific primers were designed to genotype this polymorphism using the Bi-PASA technique. Genotyping of 146 animals from Erhualian, Hampshire, Large White, Landrace and Duroc breeds revealed large...
