Abstract excerpt
The aim of the study was to evaluate the contribution of BMPER promoter SNPs to the gene expression and intramuscular fat content in longissimus dorsi muscle. Firstly the promoter region of BMPER was comparatively scanned by direct sequencing with pool DNA of two groups (n=15 for each group) with high (H) or low (L) IMF content. Two SNPs, c.-1423A>G and c.-1344A>C, were found to have reverse allele distribution...
