Association of Dopamine D2 Receptor Gene Polymorphisms with Reproduction Traits in Domestic Pigeons (Columba livia)
Dopamine inhibited prolactin secretion via dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) at the pituitary level, but its effects on reproduction in pigeons are unclear. In this study, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the exons of DRD2 gene were identified and analyzed by using DNA sequencing methods in 60 f...
