Association of two porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) receptor genes, CD163 and SN with immune traits
CD163 and sialoadhesin (SN) were reported as two essential receptors for the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. To investigate the relationship between these two genes and porcine immunity, w...

Porcine CSRP3: polymorphism and association analyses with meat quality traits and comparative analyses with CSRP1 and CSRP2
CRP3 is the muscle-specific form of the cysteine and glycine-rich protein family and plays an important role in myofiber differentiation. Here we isolated and characterized its coding gene CSRP3 from porcine musc...
