Determining sperm volume in pigs, useful in selection of animals for breeding, comprises analysis of the phosphoglycerate kinase 2 gene for presence of a specific mutation

摘要

Determining the sperm volume of pigs, or related animals, by analysis of the genome or DNA from an animal for presence of a nucleotide mutation at position 914 of the 1665 bp sequence (1), reproduced, of the phosphoglycerate kinase-2 (PGK-2) gene.
