A study on mutation points of GDF9 gene and their association with prolificacy in Egyptian small ruminants

Abstract Background Genetic variants of the GDF9 gene were considered to be the potent gene markers for improving fecundity traits in Egyptian sheep and goats. Also, these favorable gene variants could be applied in the breeding program by gene-assisted selection (GAS), aiming towards the potential...
