Abstract excerpt
Increasing reports have verified that miRNAs had an important effect on the growth and development in farm animals. To evaluate the possible effect of miR-1596 polymorphisms on chicken economic traits, directly sequencing and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, association analysis as well as online software were used. The results showed that a C > T polymorphism existed in the...
