Abstract excerpt
BMPR1B is considered to be the main effector gene affecting polytocous trait in sheep and other animals, and co-regulates reproductive performance with BMP15. Individuals containing the BMPR1B mutation had significantly higher lambing numbers than the wild type in Small-tailed Han sheep. However, the mode of regulation of BMP15 in the three genotypes (FecB BB, FecB + + and FecB + B) of BMPR1B in the Small-tailed...
