Information on PCR and RFLP conditions for SNP analysis in FTO and three additional genes (RYR1, LIPE and TGFB1). The file shows PCR primers for FTO, RYR1, LIPE and TGFB1, amplicon sizes, MgCl2 concentrations, annealing temperatures, SNP types and restriction enzymes for RFLP analyses [15,36-39].

Associations of the FTO polymorphism in combination with linked genes on SSC6 (RYR1, LIPE and TGFB1) with several traits analysed for the Meishan × Pietrain F2 pigs (different models used, including single- and multi-locus information). Proportions of genetic variance of the four genes (FTO, RYR1, LIPE and TGFB1) on selected traits evaluated by single- and multi-locus models are shown. (DOCX 28 kb).
