Schematic representation of the DNA polymorphisms detected in the UCP2 and UCP3 genes in dog. □: Exon(UTR) ■: Exon(CDS) ▬: Intron │: SNP or INDEL : PCR Fragment. The position of identified DNA polymorphism was numbered from the A of the initiator methionine ATG codon as the +1 revealed in exon. In case of intron, a positive number indicates the number of nucleotides away from the previous exon, while a negative number indicates the number of nucleotide away from the next exon.
