Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to detect genetic variation in the porcine H-FABP gene, a candidate gene for meat quality traits in pigs. Lambda phages containing the porcine H-FABP gene were isolated by plaque hybridization with human H-FABP cDNA. The coding and flanking intronic sequences of the porcine H-FABP gene were determined as well as 1.6 kb of the 5' upstream region. The various potential regulatory...
