Rabbit MSTN gene polymorphisms and genetic effect analysis

X. B. Qiao, Xu, K. Y., Li, B., Luan, X., Xia, T., and Fan, X. Z., Rabbit MSTN gene polymorphisms and genetic effect analysis, vol. 13, pp. 2590-2597, 2014.

We analyzed meat samples of nine pure lines of rabbit and its 37 hybrid combinations by sequencing and single-strand conformation polymorphism techniques to explore genetic polymorphisms of all the three exon regions and part of the 5'-regulatory region of the myostatin (MSTN) gene. Thus, we detected a single nucleotide mutation (T→C) on the 476 locus of the 5'-regulatory region, but no mutation sites were detected in the exon areas.
