Abstract excerpt
As a key gene for balancing energy and regulating feeding behavior, MC4R is relevant to the growth of ruminants. In this presentation, a highly conserved c.612A>G site in the coding sequence (CDS) of MC4R has been selected during a selective sweep analysis of 35 Yiling goats and 20 other wild goats. This site mutation results in an amino acid change from Ile to Met. The genotyping analysis of the c.612A>G site...
