Abstract excerpt
The SMAD1 and SMAD5 genes belong to mothers against decapentaplegic proteins family, which participate in the BMP pathway to control skeletal myogenesis and growth. In the present study, we analyzed the associations between polymorphisms of SMAD1 and SMAD5 genes promoter and important economical traits in Qinchuan cattle. Four SNPs in the SMAD1 gene promoter and three SNPs in the SMAD5 promoter were identified by...
