Abstract
In the present study we show FISH localization of 4 porcine BAC clones harbouring potential candidate genes for fatness traits:DGAT1 (SSC4p15),PPARA (SSC5p15),ADIPOR1 (SSC10p13) andCREB (SSC15q24). Until now theCREB andADIPOR1 genes are considered to be monomorphic,DGAT1 is highly polymorphic, while for thePPARA gene only 1 SNP was identified. Assignment of the studied genes in relation to QTL chromosome regions for meat quality in pig chromosomes SSC4, SSC5, SSC10 and SSC15 is discussed.Keywords
