Association between perilipin gene polymorphisms and body weight traits in Jinmao Hua chickens
The perilipin gene (PLIN) plays a crucial here role in lipid metabolism and fat deposition.In order to reveal the genetic effects of PLIN polymorphisms on body weight (BW) traits in chickens, PLIN gene polymorphisms in 322 Jinmao Hua chickens were detected by PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing methods.For PLIN primer pair 1, five genotypes (AA, AB, BB, JJ
