Abstract excerpt
Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex chaperone (UQCC) involved in the development and maintenance of bone and cartilage is an important candidate gene for body measurement traits selection through marker-assisted selection (MAS). The expression of UQCC is upregulated in many human and animal models of height as well as other stature indexes. We have cloned the cDNA sequence coding UQCC gene in bovine. Genomic...
