Abstract excerpt
DLK1--(Drosophila like element 1) is a paternally expressed gene, associated with the callipyge phenotype in sheep. In a present study we designed a new real-time PCR alleleic discrimination assay for genotyping of a silent C/T mutation (c.639C>T) in DLK1 gene in swine. The DLK1 c.639C>T mutation was highly polymorphic in all breeds analyzed and C allele was predominant in Landrace and Duroc while T allele was...
