Abstract excerpt
Several studies have reported the gene polymorphisms associated with high-altitude adaptation in goats. The FGF5 gene is a regulator in the hair-growth and a SNP c.-253G>A located within 5'UTR has been reported to cause long-haired phenotype. The EPAS1 gene is a transcription factor for various genes that have hypoxia-adaptive functions and a nonsynonymous SNP (Q579L) located in exon 5 has been reported to be...
