An insertion in the coding region of the <it>myostatin </it>(<it>MSTN</it>) gene affects carcass conformation and fatness in the Norwegian Spælsau (<it>Ovis aries</it>)
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A phenotype of increased muscle mass (IMM) and reduced fat, comparable to reported effects of deleterious mutations in the <it>myostatin </it>gene (<it>MSTN</it>), has been observed in the Norwegian Spælsau br...
