During the last decade, DNA mutations in the porcine ryanodine receptor 1 gene (RYR1, C1843T) and the estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1, T1665G), have been widely used in marker-assisted selection (MAS) for the pig industry. These 2 well-characterized SNPs in RYR1 and ESR1 are responsible for porcine stress syndrome (PSS)and litter size, respectively. Here, we describe a reliable,high-efficiency method for the genotyping of these 2 genes using the high-resolution melting (HRM) method. The HRM approach exhibited high-accuracy and repeatability,comparable with the classic PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) approach, and is potentially suitable for large-scale genotyping in commercial pig farms.
