Abstract excerpt
Utilizing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping techniques to select animals with high economic trait values, including reproduction and growth, have attracted great attention. Myoglobin (Mb) is a cytoplasmic hemoprotein involved in oxygen transport and storage, and plays a critical role in skeletal muscle development. Nevertheless, there are few academic publications focused on the Mb associated with...
