Identification of novel genes associated with litter size of indigenous sheep population in Xinjiang, China using specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing technology.

In this study, the KASP technology was used to verify three sites with significant or extremely significant effects on litter size, which could lead to breakthroughs in the development of sheep multi-lamb genes and markers, and improvement of the efficiency of molecular breeding of sheep with high fecundity.
