A missense mutation in PPARD causes a major QTL effect on ear size in pigs.

A missense mutation in PPARD causes a major QTL effect on ear size in pigs.

Chinese Erhualian is the most prolific pig breed in the world. The breed exhibits exceptionally large and floppy ears. To identify genes underlying this typical feature, we previously performed a genome scan in a large scale White Duroc × Erhualian cross and mapped a major QTL for ear size to a 2-cM...
