The invention relates to the technical field of
gene engineering, in particular to application of a knock-down CDYL
gene in improvement of cattle meat production performance. The invention provides an application of knocking down a CDYL
gene in improving the differentiation capacity of cattle
muscle satellite cells and / or improving the meat production performance of cattle. The gene ID of the CDYL gene is 539013. The 404th basic group A on the upstream of the CDYL gene
transcription start site is deleted through a gene editing method, so that the CDYL knock-down gene editing cattle is created, compared with wild cattle and gene editing cattle, the myotube forming ability of
muscle satellite cells is obviously enhanced, the number of myotube marker intermuscular line
protein positive cells is obviously increased, the number of multinuclear myotubes is obviously increased, and the CDYL knock-down gene editing cattle has the advantages that the CDYL knock-down gene editing cattle can be used for preparing the CDYL knock-down gene editing cattle. And the weight and
body size data (
body height, cross height, body oblique length,
chest circumference and abdominal circumference) of the gene edited cattle are greater than those of the wild cattle. According to the invention, high-yield breeding genes of
beef cattle are enriched, and
technical support is provided for cultivation of
novel gene editing animals.
