Abstract excerpt
Ewing tumor-associated antigen 1 (ETAA1) is an important candidate gene for fat deposition in sheep. This study aimed to investigate the indel variations in the ETAA1 gene and their associations with growth traits in the 1619 sheep. The polymorphism information content of this indel ranged from 0.308 to 0.375, with medium genetic diversity (0.25 ≤ polymorphism information content ≤ 0.5). The correlation analysis...
