Abstract excerpt
The study of the BMPRIB gene polymorphisms has become of great importance in sheep, because it provides critical genetic tools to improve reproductive efficiency in ewes. The purposes of this study were: to assess the genetic diversity of the 90-bp deletion polymorphism within the BMPRIB gene in 52 various sheep breeds; to examine its linkage to the p.Q249R variant in the same gene, as well as to analyze its...
