[Associations between 60 SNPs identified by APEX microarray and growth rate, meatiness and selection index in boars]
Abstract:
A total of 312 boars (201 Landrace and 111 Large White) were genotyped with a custom-made low throughput genotyping microarray (called SNiPORK) based on array primer extension (APEX) technology. The results were used to association studies between genotyped SNP markers and daily gains, meat content and selection index. Among the 60 SNP markers analyzed, 14 of them showed statistically significant associations between the genotype and the level of at least one trait. In order to find extremely beneficial or unfavorable intergenic diplotype combinations, 5 SNP markers were selected: CASTA499C, MYF6 T255C, PKLR C384T, SFRSI C1146T and TNNT3T 153C, which showed statistically significant associations at P
