Abstract
The number of ribs is an important economic trait in the sheep industry when the sheep are raised for mutton. However, in sheep, the genetic mechanisms regulating rib number are poorly understood. In the present study, we aimed to identify important candidate genes that affect the increase in rib number in sheep. Whole-genome resequencing of 36 Hu sheep with an increased number of ribs (R14) and 36 sheep with normal (R13) rib numbers was carried...
