Abstract excerpt
The BMPRIB gene is one of the main genes that can be used as a molecular genetic marker for the early selection of highly productive ewes. It is well-documented that the p.Q249R (g.746A > G) is the first mutation in the kinase domain of the BMPR1B gene that is highly related to increased ovulation rate and litter size. It is likely that the presence of the p.Q249R mutation in the sheep population is one of the...
