PCR-SSCP and Sequencing Analysis For Studying Leptin Gene Polymorphism and Its Association with Reproductive Status of Egyptian Buffalo

Leptin gene is one of the potential genes involves intricately in metabolism and growth of animals. Leptin has myriad effect on tissues and endocrine system that ultimately lead to the whole body energy metabolism and has major impact on performance and wellbeing of livestock species. Owing to have key biological features, leptin is one of themost significant candidate gene markers for Marker assisted selection (MAS) studies. This study was...
