Mutation in the melanocortin 1 receptor is associated with amber colour in the Norwegian Forest Cat.

abstract：:Despite the economic interest of the fatty acid profile in pigs, no gene has been convincingly associated with this trait so far. Here, the porcine microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) gene, which plays a crucial role in the assembly of nascent lipoproteins, has been analysed as a positional candidate gene ...
