Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the selection signatures at a genome-wide level in 'Pishan' sheep using Specific Locus Amplified Fragment (SLAF)-seq. Blood samples from 126 ewes were sequenced using SLAF tags, and the ovarian tissues from 8 ewes (Bashbay sheep, a single litter size group (SG group); 'Pishan' sheep, double litter size group (DG group)) were collected to detect expression levels by...
