Association between leptin gene polymorphism and growth traits in Bali cattle

Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture, 2023
Leptin (LEP) gene produces hormone leptin which is secreted by adipose tissue, and plays an im-portant role in energy balance, regulating feed intake, regulating endocrine function, and immune functions.

Goat Pleomorphic Adenoma Gene 1 (PLAG1): mRNA Expression, CNV Detection and Associations with Growth Traits

Animals, 2023
The pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) gene, as the major gene responsible for growth, plays a vital role in myogenesis. Meanwhile, the relationship between copy number variation (CNV) of this gene and growth traits in goats remains unclear.
