Abstract excerpt
BMPR1B is the major gene regulating ovine fertility, wherein the A746G coding mutation (the FecB mutation) has been shown to markedly increase ovulation rate and lambing number. Granulosa cells (GCs) provide essential support for follicular development and oocyte maturation, directly influencing reproductive performance. However, the epigenetic mechanisms by which FecB genotypes regulate GCs function via...
