Abstract excerpt
Goat is an important sector for meat and dairy products. Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), which is a key gene in milk production, has been recently detected to overlap with a novel copy number variation (CNV) in goats. CNVs could be genetic markers providing new insights into the genetic basis of phenotypic variation. Up to now, there are no reports on the DGAT1-related CNV (DGAT1 CNV) in Chinese...
