Genome wide association study for the identification of genes associated with tail fat deposition in Chinese sheep breeds.

Abstract excerpt

Chinese indigenous sheep can be classified into three types based on tail morphology: fat-tailed, fat-rumped, and thin-tailed sheep, of which the typical breeds are large-tailed Han sheep, Altay sheep, and Tibetan sheep, respectively. To unravel the molecular genetic basis underlying the phenotypic differences among Chinese indigenous sheep with these three different tail types, we used ovine high-density 600K...
