Association study between single nucleotide polymorphisms in leptin and growth traits in Cyprinus carpio var. Jian

Y. Tang, Li, H., Li, J., Yu, F., Yu, J., Tang, Y., Li, H., Li, J., Yu, F., and Yu, J., Association study between single nucleotide polymorphisms in leptin and growth traits in Cyprinus carpio var. Jian, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Leptin is a hormone that affects the regulation of body weight, energy expenditure, fat metabolism, food intake, and appetite. In this study, we cloned the jlLEP-A1 and jlLEP-A2 genes in Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian) and performed an association analysis between identified polymorphisms and growth traits.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of Δ6-desaturase and Elovl5 segments and their associations with common carp (Cyprinus carpio) growth traits

Highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) are crucial for the nutritional health, physiology, and reproduction of vertebrates. The Δ6-desaturase and Elovl5 elongase genes produce essential enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of HUFAs. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of genes functionally related to the growth traits of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian) can provide useful information for common carp molecular breeding. In this study, we isolated two Δ6 Fad genes and two Elovl5 genes from the common carp.
