Copy Number Variation of the PIGY Gene in Sheep and Its Association Analysis with Growth Traits

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 <i>PIGY</i> 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). This region overlaps wit...
