Association of Variants in <i>CDC10</i> (<i>Septin 7</i>) Gene with Growth-Related Traits in Qinchuan Cattle.

ABSTRACT: As one of the five major indigenous yellow cattle breeds in China, Qinchuan cattle are characterized by stable genetic performance and desirable meat quality. However, compared with imported commercial breeds, Qinchuan cattle have a relatively slow growth rate. Therefore, improving the growth rate of Qinchuan cattle has become a top priority in Qinchuan cattle breeding. The CDC10 (Septin 7) gene, an important member of the Septin family, participates in various cellular physiological processes including intracellular substance transport, cell division, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Studies have repeatedly mapped the CDC10 gene to quantitative trait loci influencing growth-related traits, such as body weight and carcass weight in many beef cattle breeds. Previou
