Identification of gene variation within porcine PRDM16 gene and its association with fat and loin muscle area (Short communicati
The PR domain containing the 16 (PRDM16) gene, also known as the MDS1/EVI1-like gene (MEL1), may act as a bidirectional switch between brown fat and skeletal muscle in mice. The molecular characteristics and possible biological function of porcine PRDM16 gene…
