Abstract excerpt
Steroid hormone levels are associated with estrous behavior, which affects timely mating and reproductive efficiency in pigs. 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 14 (HSD17B14) modulates steroid synthesis and metabolism. To identify the functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the porcine HSD17B14 gene, ear tissues from Large White and Mi gilts were collected to extract genomic DNA. Variable lengths...
