Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to determine the structure of the porcine PPARGC1A 5' upstream region, and to find suitable molecular markers for improved meat quality and good lean meat production. Ten DNA polymorphisms, including 7 SNPs, 2 microsatellites, and 1 insertion or deletion were newly found in the 5' upstream region of PPARGC1A. Three SNPs that had restriction enzyme site were evaluated for associations...
