The Identification of Mutation in <i>BMP15</i> Gene Associated with Litter Size in Xinjiang Cele Black Sheep

The Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 (<i>BMP15</i>) gene is known to have multiple single-nucleotide polymorphism sites associated with sheep fecundity. This study used gene sequence analysis and mutation detection assays for <i>BMP15</i> by using 205 blood samples of ewes with...
