DNA sequence polymorphisms within the bovine guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs subunit alpha (Gsα)-encoding (<it>GNAS</it>) genomic imprinting domain are associated with performance traits

DNA sequence polymorphisms within the bovine guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs subunit alpha (Gsα)-encoding (<it>GNAS</it>) genomic imprinting domain are associated with performance traits

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Genes which are epigenetically regulated via genomic imprinting can be potential targets for artificial selection during animal breeding. Indeed, imprinted loci have been shown to underlie some important quantitative traits in domest...
