Abstract excerpt
The B3GNT5 gene is a candidate for the F4ab/ac receptor conferring susceptibility to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F4ab/ac in pigs. In this study, we screened mutations in the complete coding region of the porcine B3GNT5 gene and identified four SNPs in the 3' untranslated regions. We genotyped the four SNPs across a large-scale White Duroc × Chinese Erhualian F2 resource population (total F2 = 755) and...
