Variation in Ovine <i>DGAT1</i> and Its Association with Carcass Muscle Traits in Southdown Sheep

Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) is a microsomal enzyme that plays a key role in the synthesis of triglycerides. Its gene (<i>DGAT1</i>) is regarded as a candidate gene for variation in milk and meat traits in cattle. The objective of this study was to use a PCR single-strand c...
