[Method] Four microsatellite loci including BMS1591, TEXAN-2, FCB128 and BM81124 mapped on GDF8 region of chromosome No. 2 of sheep that may be correlated with growth performance were chosen to detect the molecular genetics foundation of growth performance of Hu sheep. [ Result] Four microsatellite loci detected were high in heterozygosity, more in effective alleles number and rich in polymorphic information, all the three indices passed through the high polymorphic level （PIC 〉0.5）. [ Conclusion ] The four microsatellite loci detected could be used to estimate the genetic polymorphism of growth performance of Hu sheep.展开更多
