- Abstract
The article discusses the study which examines the association of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the bovine zinc finger, BED-type containing 6 (ZBED6) gene on the five growth traits in the population of Nanyang cattle. The study involves 265 Nanyang cattle in China where their traits such as body weight, body length, and heart girth were measured. Result shows that the association and mutations of the three SNPs on cattle's traits were causative for growth rate variations.
