Abstract excerpt
Myopalladin (MYPN) and titin (TTN) play key roles in skeletal muscle structural organisation and for this reason they may be functional candidates for meat production traits in pigs. We analysed by PCR-RFLP two polymorphisms previously identified and described in the 3'UTR of MYPN and TTN genes in a group of Italian Large White (ILW) and Italian Duroc (ID) pigs with extreme divergent estimated breeding values for...
