Abstract excerpt
The objectives of the present study were focused on detecting deletion mutation in bovine AMPD1 gene, and analyzing its effect on body measurement and carcass traits in Qinchuan cattle by using DNA sequencing and agarose electrophoresis methods. The 198-bp PCR products of AMPD1 gene exhibited three genotypes and two alleles were revealed: A and B. The frequencies of genotype AA/AB/BB in Qinchuan populations was...
