Abstract excerpt
The increasing interest in the discovery and characterization of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) emphasis the need for high-throughput and cost effective scoring methods. Pyrosequencing is a novel method for screening SNPs. In this study we examine breed specific SNPs in the pig melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R), some causing coat color phenotypes. A total of fifteen pigs representing eight breeds and...
