Association analyses between litter size and copy number variation types in Shaanbei white cashmere goats.
Locus | Genotype (LSM ± SE) | P-values | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Loss | Median | Gain | ||
CNV3 | 1.25 ± 0.63B (n = 48) | 1.57 ± 0.51A (n = 94) | 1.33 ± 0.36B (n = 171) | 3.44E-4 |
CNV5 | 1.00 ± 0.11b (n = 4) | 1.00 ± 0.01b (n = 5) | 1.43 ± 0.02a (n = 284) | 0.034 |
Values with different letters (A, B/a, b) within the same row differ significantly at P < 0.01/P < 0.05.
