Previous studies have shown that the protein kinase cGMP-dependent 2 (PRKG2) gene is associated with dwarfsm in humans, dogo Argentines, and Angus cattle, as well as with height and osteoblastogenesis in humans. Therefore, the PRKG2 gene was used as the target gene to explore whether this gene is associated with several thoracolumbar vertebrae and carcass traits in Dezhou donkeys. |
