Single nucleotide poiymorphisms (SNPs) of the porcine imprinting gene MKRN3 were identified in Meishan, Large white and Landrace pigs by PCR-RFLP and were genotyped in the F2 popu- lation of 285 Large white × Meishan pigs by PCR-BstUI-RFLP. Subsequently, correlation between the porcine gene MKRN3 polymorphism and porcine carcass traits were analyzed.The results showed that, the porcine MKRN3 gene had seven SNPs in the coding region, including 293C〉G, 361G〉A, 497G〉A, 630G〉A,678T〉C, 1376C〉T,and 1407T〉A.Of which, the 678T〉C site had dif...
