Abstract excerpt
Diverse physiological effects of the androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear transcription factor, and its mapping position within a quantitative trait loci (QTL) region on chromosome X propose it as an interesting candidate gene for pig reproduction and performance. Therefore, the aims of this study were isolation of the gene and detection of polymorphisms as a tool for association study and analysis of functional...
