Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As an important reproductive hormone, melatonin plays an important role in regulating the reproductive activities of sheep and other mammals. Hu sheep is a breed favoring for meat, with prolific traits. In order to explore the relationship between melatonin and reproductive function of Hu sheep, 7,694,759 SNPs were screened out through the whole genome sequencing analysis from high and low melatonin...
