Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for litter size in sheep.

Theriogenology - 1 Mar 2022

Gholizadeh Mohsen, Esmaeili-Fard Seyed Mehdi

Abstract excerpt

Litter size and ovulation rate are important reproduction traits in sheep and have important impacts on the profitability of farm animals. To investigate the genetic architecture of litter size, we report the first meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using 522 ewes and 564,377 SNPs from six sheep breeds. We identified 29 significant associations for litter size which 27 of which have not been...
