Abstract excerpt

LIM homeobox transcription factor 4 (LHX4) is one of the genes involved in sheep reproduction. Consequently, this study investigated whether the LHX4 gene affects the litter size of ewes. Genomic DNA extraction was performed on 123 ewes with singleton lambs and 109 ewes with twins. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fragments of 207, 256, 257, 325, and 377 bp were amplified from exons 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 of the...
