The Association of an SNP in the <i>EXOC4 </i>Gene and Reproductive Traits Suggests Its Use as a Breeding Marker in Pigs
In mammals, the exocyst complex component 4 (<i>EXOC4</i>) gene has often been reported to be involved in vesicle transport. The SNP rs81471943 (C/T) is located in the intron of porcine <i>EXOC4</i>, while six quantitative trait loci (QTL) within 5–10 Mb around <i>EXOC4...
