Abstract excerpt
Prolactin (PRL) plays a crucial role in the initiation and maintenance of lactation in mammals. In this study, seven PCR fragments representing most important functional domains of PRL gene were screened for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Chinese Holsteins by single-strand conformation polymorphisms and amplicons sequencing, and their genetic effects on milk production traits were evaluated. A total of...
