Abstract excerpt
Fecundity in livestock is an economically important complex quantitative trait that is influenced by both genetics and the environment. However, the underlying genetic mechanism of reproductive performance in goats has not been well investigated. To investigate the genomic basis of fecundity in goats, genomic sequencing data of the Jining grey goat (a high prolificacy breed in China) were collected, as well as...
