Genome-wide association study reveals novel genes for the ear size in sheep (Ovis aries).

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2018

Abstract excerpt

Variations in ear size can be observed in livestock such as sheep; however, the genetic basis of variable ear size in sheep is still poorly understood. To investigate causative genes associated with ear size in sheep, a genome-wide association study was performed in 115 adult Duolang sheep with different-sized floppy ears using the Ovine Infinium HD BeadChip. We found 38 significant SNPs at the genome-wide or...
