Tissue expression profile, polymorphism of IGF1 gene and its effect on body size traits of Dezhou donkey

•The expression level of the adult donkey IGF1 gene in heart, liver, spleen, lung, renal and gastric tissues is higher than that of the young donkeys, but the young donkeys are significantly higher in muscle tissues than the adult donkeys.•The results of this research showed that IGF1-1 and IGF1-2 p...

Description
Summary:•The expression level of the adult donkey IGF1 gene in heart, liver, spleen, lung, renal and gastric tissues is higher than that of the young donkeys, but the young donkeys are significantly higher in muscle tissues than the adult donkeys.•The results of this research showed that IGF1-1 and IGF1-2 polymorphic sites were significantly associated with body size traits such as chest circumference in Dezhou donkeys (P
