Ear type in sheep is associated with the MSRB3 locus.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2020

Paris J M, Letko A, Häfliger I M, Ammann P, Drögemüller C

Abstract excerpt

Ear morphology is an important determinant of sheep breeds. It includes different variable traits such as ear size and erectness, suggesting a polygenic architecture. Here, we performed a comprehensive genome-wide analysis to identify regions under selection for ear morphology in 515 sheep from 17 breeds fixed for diverse ear phenotypes using 34k SNP genotyping data. GWASs for two ear type traits, size and...
