Abstract excerpt
Copy number variation (CNV) as an important source of genetic phenotypic and variation is related to complex phenotypic traits. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential associations of BAG4 (Bcl-2-associated athanogene 4) copy numbers variations with sheep growth traits in three Chinese sheep breeds (CKS, STHS, and HS). BAG4 is located within the stature and udder attachment quantitative trait loci...
