Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to identify and evaluate the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within miR-9 and miR-27a genes and their promoters, as well as 3'UTR regions of KITLG and IGF1 genes on litter size in Markhoz goats. PCR-SSCP analysis revealed different band patterns and sequencing results confirmed four SNPs including a C/A, a A/G, a C/T and a A/G substitution located in the promoter region of miR-9...
