Abstract excerpt

Raising intact male pigs would have a significant economic impact on the pork industry; however, the presence of 16-androstene (a major cause of boar taint) in meat from male pigs would be highly objectionable to consumers. In pigs, a positive correlation has been found between cytochrome b5 (CYB5) and production of 16-androstene. The search for polymorphism of CYB5 and functional analysis of polymorphism found...
