The article focuses on a study of Chinese individuals from Jiaxian cattle aiming to scan the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the exons and exon/intron junctions of bovine prohormone covertase subtilisin and kexin type 1gene with the use of polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR), PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing analysis. The link between detected polymorphisms and performance traits is explored.
