Abstract excerpt
Retinoid acid receptor related orphan receptor alpha (RORA) transcribes steroid-related genes to regulate estrogen synthesis. As an important reproductive trait, litter size relates to estrogen synthesis. Therefore, it is important to investigate the association between RORA gene and sheep litter size. In this study, one 23-bp nucleotide sequence mutation was identified in intron 1 of RORA gene in 532 female...
