Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations in microRNAs (miRNAs) including primary miRNAs, precursor miRNAs and mature miRNAs can lead to phenotypic variation by altering the biogenesis of miRNAs and/or their binding to target mRNAs. Increasing functional studies suggest that polymorphisms occurring in miRNAs can lead to phenotypic variation in farm animal. Here, we identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the...
