Abstract excerpt
Flightless-1 (FLII) is essential for early embryogenesis, structural organization of indirect flight muscle and can inhibit adipocyte differentiation. We therefore aimed to identify common variations in FLII gene and to investigate their effects on cattle growth traits. By DNA sequencing and forced PCR-RFLP methods, we evaluated two synonymous mutations (rs41910826 and rs444484913) and one intron mutation...
