Association of NCOA6 Gene Polymorphism with Milk Production Traits in Chinese Holstein Cows.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear receptor coactivator 6 is a gene that produces a protein that regulates transcriptional activity. It is also involved in many processes like cell survival, metabolism, homeostasis, and embryonic development. This study focused on studying the genetic influence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the NCOA6 gene on lactation performance characteristics. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic impact of SNPs of the NCOA6 gene on milk production traits. After the random selection of twenty cows, PCR amplification and sequencing were performed from their blood samples to find the SNPs present in the bovine NCOA6 gene. As a result, two SNPs, g.71544C > T and g.87310A > G, were found. Then, the genotyping of the cows (n = 985) was conducted using a Seq
