Abstract excerpt
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the porcine CAST gene were tested using PCR-SSCP. Genetic effects of the CAST gene on the meat quality and the backfat thickness were analyzed. On the basis of the published cDNA sequence (M20 160) of the porcine CAST gene, seven pairs of primers were designed, and two polymorphisms were found in the PCR products amplified with F1/ R1, and F6/R6 primers. A --> G transition at...
