Abstract excerpt
Previous researches revealed a copy number variation (CNV) region in the bovine fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13) gene. However, its effects remain unknown. This study detected the various copy number types in seven Chinese cattle breeds and analysed their population genetic characteristics and effects on growth traits and transcription levels. Copy number Loss was more frequent in Caoyuan Red cattle and Xianan...
