Abstract excerpt
Litter size is a key trait in livestock breeding. The BMP15 and KISS1 genes have been studied in goats, but results on their association with litter size are inconsistent. The objective of this study was to employ a meta-analysis approach to investigate the genetic relationship between the BMP15 (g.735 G>A) and KISS1 (g.2540 C>T and g.2510 G>A) genes and litter size in goats. A total of five studies (including 12...
