Abstract excerpt
MYF5 and MYOD1 belong to the myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) gene family. They code for the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that play key regulatory roles in the initiation and development of skeletal muscle and the maintenance of its phenotype. In this work three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in porcine MYF5 and one in porcine MYOD1 were detected in three pig breeds (Large White, Landrace,...
