Abstract excerpt
Myogenic factor 5 plays active roles in the regulation of myogenesis. The aim of this study is to expose the genetic variants of the MYF5 and its association with growth performance and ultrasound traits in grassland short-tailed sheep (GSTS) in China. The combination technique of sequencing and SNaPshot revealed seven SNPs in ovine MYF5 from 533 adult individuals (male 103 and female 430), four of which are...
