Abstract excerpt
The glycogen synthase gene (GYS1), which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme for glycogen synthesis of skeletal muscle, is a promising candidate gene for traits related to skeletal muscle in pigs. In this study, a G/A single nucleotide polymorphism in GYS1 intron 7 detected as a FokI PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) showed allele frequency differences among five Chinese indigenous pig breeds...
