Abstract
The present invention refers to a method of predicting prolificacy in mammals, by means of analyzing a specific molecular marker for a novel mutation correlated to the increase of the ovulation rate. The correct and simple identification of the presence of the mutation, provided by the use of the method can be highly useful in the genetic improvement of ewes, as well as flock reproduction management. The invention also refers to a novel mutation in the GDF-9 gene which positively alters the ovulation rate and to the use of said genetic sequence for the production of high prolificacy transgenic animals.
