Genome-wide association scan suggests basis for microtia in Awassi sheep.

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2016

Jawasreh K, Boettcher P J, Stella A

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary underdevelopment of the ear, a condition also known as microtia, has been observed in several sheep breeds as well as in humans and other species. Its genetic basis in sheep is unknown. The Awassi sheep, a breed native to southwest Asia, carries this phenotype and was targeted for molecular characterization via a genome-wide association study. DNA samples were collected from sheep in Jordan. Eight...
