SINE Insertion in the Intron of Pig <i>GHR</i> May Decrease Its Expression by Acting as a Repressor

SINE Insertion in the Intron of Pig <i>GHR</i> May Decrease Its Expression by Acting as a Repressor

The genetic diversity of the <i>GH/IGF</i> axis genes and their association with the variation of gene expression and phenotypic traits, principally represented by SNPs, have been extensively reported. Nevertheless, the impact of retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms (RIPs) on the <...
