Abstract:
The multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method is fast and accuracy for screening several polymorphism loci in a single reaction in large samples. Therefore, this study aimed to identify three novel insertion/deletion (indel) loci in goat growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene by using multiplex PCR method and the genotypes in three indel loci are identified in 918 individuals from three Chinese goat breeds, as well as to evaluate its associations with growth traits. After validating the accuracy by taking the conventional PCR method, the concordance between these two methods was 100%. Moreover, P14 locus polymorphism was significantly associated with six growth traits of Hainan black goats. Briefly, an economic multiplex PCR method is presented to simultaneously and accurately detect three indel polymorphisms within goat GHR without the use of any special equipment, thus improving the experimental efficiency and fast obtaining the experimental result for indel genotyping.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
