Abstract excerpt
The identification of genetic markers associated with important economic traits is fundamental to improving the productivity and quality of livestock. In this investigation, we searched for 177 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) putatively involved in meat quality from the available pig EST database, and detected eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight ESTs. We investigated the associations of these...
