Abstract excerpt
Herein we detected single nucleotide polymorphisms in MEF2B and UCP3 by DNA sequencing and the KASPar technology and analyzed their association with sheep growth traits. Two synonymous mutations, g.1826 C > T and g.10266 G > C, were detected, respectively, and they were found to be significantly associated with sheep growth traits (p < 0.05). In case of MEF2B g.1826 C > T, the average body weight and chest and...
