Abstract excerpt
Objective: Growth traits are important economic characteristics in livestock. Genetic polymorphism has great influences on the improvement of goat growth traits. As an important member of the myogenic regulatory factor (MRFs) family, MyoG gene polymorphisms can alter the growth characteristics in goats. In this study, we aimed to investigate the regulation mechanism of the MyoG gene promoter region from the...
