Abstract excerpt
Genes coding for sarcomeric proteins may play a key role in muscle mass accretion and meat production. Screening a skeletal muscle cDNA library we isolated two partial sequences coding for the sarcomeric myopalladin and titin genes. In the present work we identified three SNPs in the 3' untranslated region, two at the myopalladin locus and one at the titin locus. Myopalladin was mapped on porcine chromosome (SSC)...
