Abstract excerpt
Myostatin (MSTN) is a well-established negative regulator of muscle growth and development in mammals. Genetic variations within MSTN are linked to differences in sheep musculature, particularly the double-muscle phenotype. This study represents the first comprehensive polymorphism analysis within intron 1 of the MSTN in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain (UCM) sheep breed combining molecular and bioinformatic...
