In mammals, the melatonin receptor gene has been widely studied since it has a great influence on reproductive traits. However, little is known about the association between polymorphism of the coding region of the MTNR1B gene and year-round oestrus or the litter size in Small Tail Han sheep. To better understand the effects of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs400827589 in MTNR1B, a population polymorphism analysis was conducted using genotyping data in 45 sheep breeds around the world.
