摘要

Method for the identification of prolificidade in mamu00ecferos, DNA molecule mutated, polipeptu00ecdeo it encoded and kit for detection and identification of higher animals. The present invention relates to a method for predicting prolificidade in mammals, through analysis of specific molecular marker for a new mutation correlated with the increase in ovulation rate.The correct identification and simple presence of mutation, provided by the use of the method can be of great effectiveness in genetic improvement of sheep, as well as the reproductive management of the herd.The invention also relates to a new mutation of the gene GDF - 9 amending positively the ovulation rate and the use of such sequ00fau00eancia gene for production of transgenic animals with high benefit ificidade.
