W. Q. Tian, Wang, H. C., Song, F. B., Zan, L. S., Wang, H., Wang, H. B., Xin, Y. P., and Ujan, J. A., Association between a single nucleotide polymorphism in the bovine chemerin gene and carcass traits in Qinchuan cattle, vol. 10, pp. 2833-2840, 2011.

Qinchuan is a red or yellow draft and beef breed in China. In order to identify a predictor of carcass traits on the basis of associations between carcass traits and gene polymorphism, variation in the bovine chemerin gene was investigated using PCR-single-strand conformational polymorphism and DNA sequencing. An SNP of A868G located in exon 2 of the Bos taurus chemerin gene was detected in 716 samples of six breeds (Jiaxian red, Luxi, Nan yang, Qinchuan, Simmental and Luxi crossbred steers, and Xia’nan), all in China, and three genotypes (AA, AG and GG) were found.
