Abstract excerpt
This article is the first to report the significant effect of PPARG promoter polymorphisms on the expression and intramuscular fat (IMF) content in the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle of Erhualian pigs. Polymorphic sites for the PPARG upstream transcriptional regulatory region were scanned by direct sequencing of two DNA pools consisting of individuals with significantly different IMF content (P < 0.05). Two SNPs...
