Flt-1 gene

Lack of association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the bovine Flt-1 gene with growth traits in Chinese cattle breeds

Y. H. Pang, Lei, C. Z., Zhang, C. L., Lan, X. Y., Shao, S., Gao, X. M., Wang, J. Q., and Chen, H., “Lack of association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the bovine Flt-1 gene with growth traits in Chinese cattle breeds”, vol. 10, pp. 359-367, 2011.

We analyzed 20 exons, with their intron-exon boundaries, of the bovine Flt-1 gene, using a strategy combining PCR amplification and single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis (PCR-SSCP), followed by nucleotide sequence analysis, in 675 cattle. We then looked for associations between polymorphisms and growth traits.
