Abstract excerpt
GREM1 (gremlin1) is a known inhibitor for BMP15 (bone morphogenetic protein 15) family, but its genetic diversity in sheep is unknown. The present study was conducted to analyze the polymorphism of GREM1 gene using PCR- single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA sequencing methods and to assess the possible association of GREM1 gene polymorphism with reproductive traits in Awassi ewes. A total of 224...
