Copy Number Variation of the PIGY Gene in Sheep and Its Association Analysis with Growth Traits
Copy number variation (CNV) is a type of genomic variation with an important effect on animal phenotype. We found that the PIGY gene contains a 3600 bp copy number variation (CNV) region located in chromosome 6 of sheep (Oar_v4.0 36,121,601–36,125,200 bp)
