Abstract excerpt
MYH3, whose function is to convert chemical energy to mechanical energy through ATP hydrolysis, is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle at various stages and is indispensable in the procedure of development of skeletal muscle and heart. In the study, genetic variations and genotypes of MYH 3 gene in a total of 365 Qinchuan cattles were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism,...
