Association of a hypoxia-inducible factor-3α gene polymorphism with superovulation traits in Changbaishan black cattle
, “Association of a hypoxia-inducible factor-3α gene polymorphism with superovulation traits in Changbaishan black cattle”, vol. 14, pp. 14539-14547, 2015.
This study was designed to examine a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the HIF-3α gene in three hundred Changbaishan black cattle using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism to determine whether there is an association between this SNP and superovulation. The cloning and sequencing results indicate that the polymorphism is due to a point mutation at the 278-bp position in the HIF-3α gene, resulting in 3 genotypes (AA, AB, and BB).
