[ 1 ] - Association of Exon 4 Region of Gpr54 Gene Polymorphisms with Litter Size Trait in Iranian Sanjabi and Ghezel Sheep Breeds by PCR –SSCP

G-protein-coupled receptor (GPR54) is one of the known gene affecting fecundity. This gene  affects  the ovulation rate and litter size performance. A total of 160 animals including Sanjabi (n=100) and Ghezel (n=60) were used to identify polymorphisms of GPR54 gene and  their influence on litter size. Genomic DNA was extracted by commercial DNA kit. The genotypic patterns were detected using th...
