Whole-Genome Sequencing of Bamei Mutton Sheep for Screening the Genes and SNPs Associated with Litter Size under Selection

Abstract: Background: Bamei mutton sheep is a Chinese domestic sheep breed developed by crossing German Mutton Merino sheep and indigenous Mongolian sheep for meat production. Here, we focused on increasing the litter size of this breed to improve the efficiency of mutton production.Results: We selected five high- and five low-fecundity Bamei mutton sheep for whole-genome resequencing to identify candidate genes for sheep prolificacy. We used the FST and XP-EHH statistical approach to detect the selective sweeps between… Show more
