Article Synopsis
- - Ten genetic variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms) were studied in 176 Tongshan Black-boned goats, revealing an average heterozygosity of 0.292, which measures genetic diversity.
- - Research showed significant positive correlations between individual heterozygosity and various growth traits in the goats, such as body weight and height, indicating that more genetic variation might lead to better growth.
- - The findings support the idea that individual heterozygosity could be used as a growth indicator in these goats, bolstering the overdominance hypothesis, which suggests that heterozygous individuals may have a growth advantage.
