Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1 α (PPARGC1A) is a transcriptional coactivator that is involved in a variety of biological processes including muscle fiber type composition. Here, we identified two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; *2690T>C and *2864T>C) and one insertion/deletion in the 3' untranslated region of porcine PPARGC1A. These SNPs were genotyped by direct sequencing in a...
