AB  - Using the methods of PCR amplification and sequencing, variations of the myostatin (MSTN) gene were detected in 4 Chinese <I>Bos</I> sp., normal cattle, zebu, yak and gayal. The results showed that, 375, 372 and 381 base pairs were detected, respectively in the three exons of the MSTN gene in  the  4  Bos  populations,  8 nucleotide polymorphic sites were observed with 15 haplotypes defined. The nucleotide diversities within the 4 sp. (Pi) ranged from 0.00036-0.00103 and between the 4 species (Dxy) ranged from 0.00076-0.00322. The relation between altitude and the nucleotide diversities indicated that altitude exerted a certain pressure on the genetic variations of the MSTN gene.
