Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with fatty acid desaturase activities have been previously identified within the FADS1-FADS2 gene cluster, which encodes delta-5 (D5D) and delta-6 (D6D) desaturases, respectively. OBJECTIVE: We aimed at further characterizing the genetic variability associated with D5D and D6D activities on a genome-wide scale. METHODS: We conducted a...
