Porcine Iodothyronine Deiodinase 2 (DIO2) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSHR) sequences.
Experiment 1. Identification of genetic mutation(s) within the porcine DIO2 gene to test for associations between genotypes and fetal phenotypes in the context of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection.Experiment 2. Identification of genetic mutation(s) within the porcine TSHR gene in a subset of animals from the experiment 1.
