InDel and CNV within the AKAP13 Gene Revealing Strong Associations with Growth Traits in Goat
Animals, 2023 A-kinase-anchoring protein 13 (AKAP13) is a member of the AKAP protein family that has been found to be associated with bone formation. Thus, we investigated the AKAP13 gene as a potential candidate gene for molecular-marker-assisted selection (MAS) in ...
