Abstract excerpt
A candidate gene approach was carried out on a commercial line of turkeys to assess the association between fatness variability and polymorphisms of genes involved in lipid metabolism. Four restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) were typed on the fatty acid synthase gene (MspI/pF5), on the malic enzyme gene (HindIII/em), as well as on the acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase and delta9 desaturase genes....
