https://t.co/ggsN0jFoUW Hill researched elite horse racing, using a genome wide SNP-association. Sequence variant g.66493737C>T found in equine myostatin gene is a good predictor of optimum race distance. Greater research needed. @DrMoran #R7GSP
https://t.co/PdQzxIPDdv investigated elite thoroughbred horse racing through SNP-genome association. g.66493737C>T polymorphism in MSTN gene is strong predictor of opt. race distance. Mechanisms behind these findings are not clear. @DrMoran #r7gsp #gene
https://t.co/9izPmRLgvm found evidence that the g.66493737C>T polymorphism in the MSTN genes is the most powerful predictor of optimum race distance in Thoroughbred horses(n=118) however the mechanism behind this has yet to be confirmed @DrMoran #R7GSP
Hill's genome SNP-association study shows the sequence variant g.66493737C>T in the equine myostatin gene gives the best genetic prediction of race distance aptitude in thoroughbreds. https://t.co/iy4kZZyJfw @DrMoran #R7GSP #Genome #RaceHorses
