Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to identify polymorphisms and to analyze endometrial gene expression of the porcine SSC13 ITIH cluster that could explain differences in prolificacy of 255 F(2) sows derived from an Iberian (Ib)×Meishan (Me) intercross in which QTL for the number of piglets born alive (NBA) and total number of piglets born (TNB) were previously detected on this chromosome. Sequencing of ITIH-1,...
