- Title
Analysis of porcine MUC4 gene as a candidate gene for prolificacy QTL on SSC13 in an Iberian × Meishan F<sub>2</sub> population.
- Abstract
The article offers information on a study conducted by the authors in which they analyzed porcine mucin 4 (MUC4) gene for prolificacy of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on SSC13 in pigs. It states that OTL for total number of piglets born (TNB) and number of piglets born alive (NBA) were confirmed on SSC13. It highlights that polymorphism of the gene was associated with both TNB and NBA and it can play important role in pig gestation.
