Abstract excerpt
This study was to investigate the correlations of myogenic differentiation 1 (MYOD1) gene polymorphisms with carcass traits and its expression with breast muscle development in pigeons. Four SNPs were found in the pigeon MYOD1 gene. Correlation analysis showed that individuals with AA genotype at both SNPs g.2967A > G (p < .01) and g.3044G > A (p < .05) have significantly higher live weight (LW), carcass weight...
