Variation of Leptin-Melanocortin Signaling Pathway Genes and their Genetic Effects on Body Weight, Linear Body Measurements and Fatness Traits in Sheep

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2019 in the subject Biology - Genetics / Gene Technology, grade: Very good, , language: English, abstract: This thesis focuses on examining the genetic effects of leptin-melanocortin signaling pathway genes, specifically MC4R, STAT3, and LEP, on body measurement and fatness traits in sheep. The study recognizes that an animal's phenotype performance for...
