Abstract excerpt
The intramuscular fat content (IMF) is an economically important trait in pigs and the Laiwu pig is famous for its excessively extremely high level of IMF. Our previous transcriptome study revealed that the dynamic expression of glycerol-phosphate acyltransferase 3 (GPAT3) is consistent with changes in the IMF of Laiwu pigs. In this study, we further analyzed the expression and polymorphism of GPAT3 in its...
