Identification of TRAPPC9 and BAIAP2 Gene Polymorphisms and Their Association With Fat Deposition-Related Traits in Hu Sheep.

ABSTRACT: Fat deposition is an important economic trait that is closely related to feed efficiency and carcass performance in livestock. In this study, the fat deposition-related traits of 1,293 Hu sheep were measured and descriptive statistical analysis was conducted. The results showed that the coefficient of variation of all fat deposition-related traits was higher than 24%. In addition, single nucleotide polymorphisms and the expression characteristics of TRAPPC9 (encoding trafficking protein particle complex subunit 9) and BAIAP2 (encoding brain-specific Angiogenesis inhibitor 1-associated protein 2) genes in Hu sheep were detected using PCR amplification, Sanger sequencing, KASPar genotyping, and quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). The associations between
