Abstract excerpt

Genetic mutations with major effects on ovulation rate in sheep were recently identified in two genes of the transforming growth factor (TGFbeta) superfamily and a TGFbeta receptor, namely bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), otherwise known as the growth differentiation factor 9b (GDF9b), GDF9 and activin-like kinase 6 (ALK6) otherwise known as the BMP receptor type IB (BMPRIB). Animals homozygous for the...
