Fine mapping of the FecL locus influencing prolificacy in Lacaune sheep.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2009

Abstract excerpt

In the Lacaune sheep population, two major loci influencing ovulation rate are segregating: FecX and FecL. The FecX(L) mutation is a non-conservative substitution (p.Cys53Tyr) in BMP15 that prevents the processing of the protein. Using a statistical approach, FecL has been shown to be an autosomal major gene. A full genome scan localized the FecL locus on sheep chromosome 11. Fine mapping reduced the interval...
