Genetic linkage analysis between protein polymorphisms and the FecB major gene in sheep.

Animal genetics - 1 Jan 1992

Tate M L, Manly H C, Dodds K G, Montgomery G W

Abstract excerpt

A genetically linked marker locus is sought for the Booroola gene (FecB), a major gene which confers increased prolificacy in sheep. We examined 18 polymorphic proteins in sheep and found 10 to be informative in half-sib families where the Booroola gene was segregating. Recombination was observed between each of the protein loci and the Booroola gene. The loci and exclusion distance for each (calculated as the...
