Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to identify molecular markers to be applied to marker-assisted selection. Three SNPs of the FASN gene were studied. PCR-RFLP was used for genotyping. The SNPs g.17924A>G, g.17860C>T and g.15603A>G all in the FASN gene were genotyped using the enzymes MscI, DdeI and Hae III, respectively. The animals were raised in extensive systems and belong to three lines selected for growth as part of...
