Abstract excerpt
Tail type is an important trait that influences meat quality and consumer purchasing attitudes. As a novel genetic marker, the study of genomic copy number variations (CNVs) provides a new research method to study the genetic mechanisms underlying trait formation. In the present paper, we conducted CNV-based association studies for sheep tail type and growth traits in Hulunbuir sheep. A total of 167 CNVs and 288...
