Abstract excerpt
Due to its function, the peroxisome proliferative activated receptor-gamma, coactivator-1alpha (PPARGC1A) gene is a candidate in the search for genes that may affect production traits in the pig. The purpose of this study was to screen for new SNPs in exon 8 of the porcine PPARGC1A gene and to test their possible association with production traits. Altogether 736 pigs representing five breeds Polish Landrace,...
