Abstract excerpt
We carried out an SNP discovery project in pigs for candidate genes playing potentially important roles in embryonic development. Using eight pigs one each from eight breeds (Meishan, Mangalitza, Duroc, Pietrain, German Landrace, Hampshire, Husum Red Pied, German Large White), 36 SNPs were identified in intronic sequences of 21 porcine candidate genes based on sequencing of PCR products. The primer pairs were...
