Abstract excerpt
Using a porcine radiation hybrid panel, we assigned the mucin 4 (MUC4) gene to SSC13q41, which harbours the enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F4ab/ac receptor locus. In addition, we identified two SNPs in intron 17 of MUC4 (DQ124298:g.243A>G and DQ124298:g.334A>G) in the parental population of a White Duroc x Erhualian cross. Association analysis showed that the MUC4 g.243A>G mutation was strongly...
