Abstract excerpt
Our previous transcriptomic study identified MYL4 (myosin light chain 4) to be associated with muscle development and growth in pigs. In this study, we aimed to investigate the genetic variation of MYL4 and determine the effect of these variations in regulating MYL4 expression and muscle fiber size. After screening the regulatory region of MYL4 in Large White pigs, we identified nine completely linked single...
