Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the growth hormone and growth hormone receptor genes with blood serum insulin-like growth factor I concentration and growth traits in Angus cattle.

Abstract excerpt

This study was conducted to identify polymorphisms in the promoter and coding regions of the bovine growth hormone and growth hormone receptor genes and to study association of polymorphisms identified in these genes with growth traits and serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentration. The denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis method and sequencing were utilized to identify three new single...
