Identification of candidate genes for congenital splay leg in piglets by alternative analysis of DNA microarray data

<p>The congenital splay leg syndrome in piglets is characterized by a temporarily impaired functionality of the hind leg muscles immediately after birth. Etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms for the disease are still not well understood. We compared genome wide gene expression of three hind le...
