Short summary
In order to identify potential variances in gene expression of phenotypically different pig breeds, six fat-metabolism-related genes were analyzed in backfat and muscle tissues of fat-type Mangalica, Mangalica × Duroc, and lean-type Hungarian Large White and Pietrain × Duroc pigs by means of quantitative reverse transcription PCR. The identified expression differences can improve our understanding of the genetic background behind the characteristic fatty phenotype of Mangalica.
