Abstract
This study was to investigate the correlations of myogenic differentiation 1 (MYOD1) gene polymorphisms with carcass traits and its expression with breast muscle development in pigeons. Four SNPs were found in the pigeon MYOD1 gene. Correlation analysis showed that individuals with AA genotype at both SNPs g.2967A > G (p < .01) and g.3044G > A (p < .05) have significantly higher live weight (LW), carcass weight (CW), semi-eviscerated weight (SEW), eviscerated weight (EW) and breast muscle weight (BMW). Moreover, the two SNPs also had the same significant effects on MYOD1 mRNA expression levels in breast muscle of pigeons, ie, the AA genotype showed higher MYOD1 mRNA expression levels. The diameter and cross-section area of muscle fibers continuously increased from 0w to 4w (p < .05), accompanied with the increasing expression of MYOD1 gene, while the density decreased (p < .05) dramatically from 0w to 1w and continuously fell over in the next few weeks (p > .05). What's more, the expression level of MYOD1 gene was positively correlated with a diameter (r = 0.937, p < .05) and cross-sectional area (r = 0.956, p < .01) of myofiber, and negatively correlated with density (r = -0.769, p < .01). The results showed that individuals with AA genotype at both SNPs g.2967A > G and g.3044G > A have showed higher carcass traits (LW, CW, SEW, EW, and BMW) and higher MYOD1 mRNA expression level in breast muscle than AB and BB genotypes. Moreover, the expression level of MYOD1 gene was closely correlated with muscle characteristic traits, indicating variants of MYOD1 gene was closely related to muscle development and could be a potential candidate gene in marker-assisted selection of pigeons.

Novel Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Haplotype of MYF5 Gene Are Associated with Body Measurements and Ultrasound Traits in Grassland Short-Tailed Sheep. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13030483.

Abstract
Myogenic factor 5 plays active roles in the regulation of myogenesis. The aim of this study is to expose the genetic variants of the MYF5 and its association with growth performance and ultrasound traits in grassland short-tailed sheep (GSTS) in China. The combination technique of sequencing and SNaPshot revealed seven SNPs in ovine MYF5 from 533 adult individuals (male 103 and female 430), four of which are novel ones located at g.6838G > A, g.6989 G > T, g.7117 C > A in the promoter region and g.9471 T > G in the second intron, respectively. Genetic diversity indexes showed the seven SNPs in low or intermediate level, but each of them conformed HWE (p > 0.05) in genotypic frequencies. Association analysis indicated that g.6838G > A, g.7117 C > A, g.8371 T > C, g.9471 T > G, and g.10044 C > T had significant effects on growth performance and ultrasound traits. The diplotypes of H1H3 and H2H3 had higher body weight and greater body size, and haplotype H3 had better performance on meat production than the others. In addition, the dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that there are two active regions in the MYF5 promoter located at −1799~−1197 bp and −514~−241 bp, respectively, but g.6838G > A and g.7117 C > A were out of the region, suggesting these two SNPs influence the phenotype by other pathway. The results suggest that the MYF5 gene might be applied as a promising candidate of functional genetic marker in GSTS breeding.
