Abstract excerpt
A paternally expressed quantitative trait locus (QTL) for muscle mass was mapped to the insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) locus at the distal end of pig chromosome 2p. It was recently demonstrated that a G to A transition at position intron 3-nt 3072 is the quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) underlying this QTL. In this study we report for the first time the existence of imprinted porcine IGF2 antisense...
