Abstract excerpt

Several causative mutations in candidate genes affecting prolificacy have been detected in various sheep breeds. A genome-wide association study was performed on estimated breeding values for litter size in Lori-Bakhtiari sheep. Prolific ewes with twinning records and others with only singleton records were genotyped using the medium-density Illumina Ovine SNP50 array. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
