Abstract excerpt
NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene (ND2) is one of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) protein coding genes, which is a subunit of NADH dehydrogenase. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the variation/heteroplasmic sites of chicken ND2, and thus to evaluate the association with chicken growth traits, carcass traits, and serum biochemical indexes. Seventeen variants were detected in the ND2 gene by Sanger...
