Genetic variation landscape of sheep GDF9 gene from global ewes breeds and their association with gestation days

Abstract Growth differentiation Factor 9 (GDF9) has been confirmed to be closely related to the reproductive capacity of sheep. This study systematically investigated the genetic variation of the GDF9 gene across 75 global sheep breeds (n = 2,409) and explored its association with gestation days in...
