Abstract excerpt
Litter size in sheep is a complex trait controlled by micro-effective polygenes. APAF1, CLSTN2, CTH, PLCB1, PLCB4, and CHST11 are all involved in mammalian reproduction. However, the effects of these genes on litter size in sheep are still unclear. Therefore, in this study, we used Sequenom MassARRAY® SNP assay technology to type the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) loci of six genes in five sheep breeds....
