Abstract excerpt
Our previous genome-wide association study revealed that a SNP, ASGA0040372, located upstream of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3 (GPAT3), is related to growth traits in Duroc pigs. In this study, we aimed to extensively investigate the genetic variation of GPAT3 and to further verify the contribution of ASGA0040372 to growth traits and its effect on promoter activity. Our data, obtained based on gene...
