Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate possible obesity candidate genes in regions of porcine quantitative trait loci (QTL) for fat deposition and obesity-related phenotypes. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Chromosome mapping and QTL analyses of obesity candidate genes were performed using DNA panels from a reference pig family. Statistical association analyses of these genes were performed for fat deposition phenotypes in...
