Abstract excerpt
The protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit α (PPP3CA) gene is a high reproduction traits candidate gene for goats as revealed by a genome-wide association study. The aim of this work was to explore the genetic variations of the goat PPP3CA as well as to evaluate the genetic effects on litter size. Three novel insertions/deletions (indels) within the goat PPP3CA were found and their minor allelic frequencies...
