Mapping and investigation of novel candidate genes for fatness, growth, and feed intake in the pig
07 Mar 2013 | Reports | Contributor(s): K. S. Kim, M. Malek, E. Grindflek, S. Marklund, Max F. Rothschild
Five new candidate genes for fatness, growth, and feed intake traits were studied. The genes were chosen based on their presumed biological action for a given trait of interest. A molecular genetics …
