Abstract excerpt
The serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade A, member 6 gene (SERPINA6), also known as corticosteroid-binding globulin or CBG, is involved in obesity and stress sensitivity. Previous studies have reported putative causal mutations within that gene in the porcine species. To characterize a hypothetical selective footprint, we have resequenced approximately 6 kb of coding and non-coding fragments in 20 pigs comprising...
