Abstract excerpt
The objective of this work was to analyze 3 functional candidate genes for reproduction in 2 lines of rabbits divergently selected by uterine capacity. Both lines were selected for 10 generations. The selection was then relaxed until the 17th generation, when it was compounded by 61 and 63 does of the High and Low lines, respectively. We sequenced the SCGB1A1 gene, which encodes the main protein secreted by the...
