Abstract
Relationship Between GHRL Gene Polymorphisms and Growth Traits in Pigs
Highlights
; further research on this species needs to be performed in order to gain a better understanding of ghrelin peptide
Polymorphisms and sequence variation of GHRL gene In present study, the five fragments were amplified from genomic DNA
Only one RFLP-BsrI polymorphism in the GHRL gene that was identified in silico mining porcine sequences was reported to be associated with backfat thickness (BFT), marbling, and other carcass traits in a Berkshire and Yorkshire pigs (Kim et al, 2004)
Summary
; further research on this species needs to be performed in order to gain a better understanding of ghrelin peptide. The PCR products of different electrophoresis patterns were sequenced and polymorphism of the GHRL gene was studied. At the g.8523 T>C site, the frequency of TC genotype was the highest in Duroc and Landrace pigs (0.6441 and 0.6111, respectively).
