Abstract excerpt
The swine erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular A4 (EphA4) gene, which was detected in the endometrium during embryo implantation in pigs, was one of the potential candidate genes for reproductive traits. In the study, two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci (EphA4_1 and EphA4_2) in exon 3 of EphA4 gene were analyzed to determine whether EphA4 influenced total number born (TNB) and number born alive...
