Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of ERE1 retrotransposons in horses, focusing on how their insertion polymorphism can influence genetic variation and function, particularly regarding the myostatin gene related to muscle development.
- It finds that ERE1 elements' similarity to their consensus sequence indicates their evolutionary age, and their positioning suggests some may serve functional purposes.
- The research concludes that ERE1 insertion in the myostatin promoter is linked to sport performance in horses, implying its potential use in breeding practices to enhance racing abilities.
