The Detection of a Functional 168 bp Deletion of the <i>HOXB13</i> Gene Determining Short Tail and Its Association with Senior Growth Traits in Sheep Breeds Worldwide

The Detection of a Functional 168 bp Deletion of the <i>HOXB13</i> Gene Determining Short Tail and Its Association with Senior Growth Traits in Sheep Breeds Worldwide

In recent years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered that the <i>HOXB13</i> gene is a key regulatory factor for the tail length trait of sheep. Further research has found that there is a functional 168 bp SINE element insertion upstream of the <i>HOXB13</i>...
