Abstract
The mutation types GDF9 S395F and S427R increase the ovulation rate in heterozygotes, while the homozygous form leads to infertility. This study presents a meta-analysis of GDF9 and BMP15 SNPs related to sheep litter size (LS). The results showed that simulation of the molecular recognition of GDF9 R453H, S395F, and S427R was performed to study the effect on the GDF9 dimer. S395F and S427R dimer binding ability of mutant heterozygotes was improved, thereby improving LS. The binding ability of mutant homozygous dimers was reduced, resulting in infertility. The results of this study will provide important references for animal breeding.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Agricultural Sciences (AOAS) is the official journal of Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University. AOAS is an open access peer-reviewed journal publishing original research articles and review articles on experimental and modelling research at laboratory, field, farm, landscape, and industrial levels. AOAS aims to maximize the quality of the agricultural sector across the globe with emphasis on the Arabian countries by focusing on publishing the high-quality applicable researches, in addition to the new methods and frontiers leading to maximizing the quality and quantity of both plant and animal yield and final products.
