Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to detect mutations of the nuclear factor I/X (Nfix) gene and examine the association of its polymorphisms with growth traits in cattle. Six sequence variants (SVs) including five single-nucleotide mutations and an indel with multiple alleles were detected, among which four polymorphisms within the Nfix gene were identified in 1159 individuals of five cattle breeds by sequencing and...
