Assessment of selection mapping near the myostatin gene (GDF-8) in cattle.

Animal genetics - 1 Oct 2009

Wiener P, Gutiérrez-Gil B

Abstract excerpt

Domestic species provide a unique opportunity to examine the effects of selection on the genome. The myostatin gene (GDF-8) has been under strong selection in a number of cattle breeds because of its influence on muscle conformation and association with the 'double-muscling' phenotype. This study examined genetic diversity near this gene in a set of breeds including some nearly fixed for the allele associated...
