Genome-wide association study reveals candidate genes for body size and reproductive traits in Hu sheep
This is the first evidence linking these genes to body size and fecundity in Hu sheep. These findings provide genetic markers for selective breeding, and contribute to the selection of high-quality breeding sheep.
