Polyceraty (multi-horns) in Damara sheep maps to ovine chromosome 2.

Animal genetics - 1 Apr 2016

Abstract excerpt

Polyceraty (presence of multiple horns) is rare in modern day ungulates. Although not found in wild sheep, polyceraty does occur in a small number of domestic sheep breeds covering a wide geographical region. Damara are fat-tailed hair sheep, from the south-western region of Africa, which display polyceraty, with horn number ranging from zero to four. We conducted a genome-wide association study for horn number...
