Restriction fragment length and single strand conformational polymorphisms in chicken mitochondrial phosphoenol-pyruate carboxykinase gene and its association with egg production.

Abstract excerpt

This study analysed mitochondrial phosphoenol-pyruate carboxykinase (PEPCK-M) gene as a candidate QTL for egg production traits in chickens. Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism (SSCP) of a 300 bp DNA fragment, from exon 9 of samples from an egg laying North American commercial White Leghorn stock, revealed a total of 6 different single strand conformers, indicative of 3 alleles. Subsequent DNA sequencing...
