A selective genotyping approach identifies single nucleotide polymorphisms in porcine chromosome 2 genes associated with production and carcass traits in Italian heavy pigs

Several studies have shown that porcine chromosome 2 (SSC2) harbors important quantitative trait loci (QTL) for production traits. In particular, an imprinted QTL for muscle mass production is determined by a mutation in the <em>IGF2</em> gene (intron3-g.3072G>A). We recently identifi...
