Abstract excerpt
Clinical-chemical traits are essential parameters to quantify the health status of individuals and herds, but the knowledge about their genetic architecture is sparse, especially in swine. We have recently described three QTL for serum aspartate aminotransferase activity (sAST), and one of these maps to a region on SSC14 where the aspartate aminotransferase coding gene GOT1 is located. This QTL was only apparent...
