SIGNATURES OF FE/MALE FERTILITY: Using long-term selection for high fertility to decipher the genetics of increased reproductive performance (SOS-FERTIL)
Project
Project code: K52/2017
Contract period: 01.09.2018
- 31.08.2021
Budget: 947,260 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Keywords: pig breeding, pig farming, specific target traits
By comparing genomes of high fertility mouse lines with genomes of non-selected mice we aim to identify signatures of selection (= occurrence and frequency patterns of alleles causal for the selected reproductive trait). General applicability of results will then be tested in other mammal species (pigs & lions). Sperm parameters to correlate male fertility will be evaluated.
