Abstract excerpt
Copy number variations (CNVs) are an important source of genetic variation, which can affect a wide range of economic traits by diverse mechanisms. KMT2D (Lysine methyltransferase 2D) is an important positional candidate for growth traits. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with large effects on economically important traits cover the KMT2D gene. The KMT2D gene overlays a CNV within its exons, hence it was chosen as...
