Abstract excerpt
In order to understand the function of gene ATF4 and identify new DNA markers involved in pig production traits, the cDNA fragment of porcine ATF4 was cloned and sequenced. Sequence comparison revealed an A159G substitution downstream of the initiation codon (ATG). We then carried out PCR-AluⅠ-RFLP analysis in Large white, Landrace, Tongcheng and Meishan pigs, followed by association analysis in F2 "Large white...
