Investigation of the Relationship Between Ovine Selection Signature DIS3 Like 3'-5' Exoribonuclease 2 (DIS3L2) Gene and Weaning Weight and Average Daily Gain Until Weaning in Lambs.

Abstract excerpt

The growing demand for animal products, combined with declining livestock production due to urbanization and climate change, underscores the need for sustainable breeding strategies. In sheep production, liveweight and weight gain until weaning are key economic traits. Selection signature analyses have previously identified the DIS3L2 gene, located on OAR2 (~233 Mbp), as a candidate under positive selection for...
