  • Nucleotide and amino acid sequences of oocyte factors for altering ovarian follicular growth or
    Patent number: 7098183
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to nucleotide and amino acid sequences of oocyte factors for altering ovarian follicular growth in vivo or in vitro. The present invention also concerns novel homodimeric and heterodimeric polypeptides and their use for altering mammalian ovarian follicular growth in vivo or in vitro.

  • Nucleotide sequences involed in increasing or decreasing mammalian ovulation rate
    Publication number: 20040092007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences which are involved in increasing or decreasing mammalian ovulation rate. In particular, the invention broadly concerns novel mutations in a gene which is involved in increasing the ovulation rate in heterozygous female mammals; these mutations cause sterility in homozygous female mammals. Knowledge of the mutated gene sequence can be applied to a test for identifying heterozygous of homozygous female and male mammals carrying the mutated gene. This knowledge of the biological function of the gene and its mutations can also be utilised to increase or decrease the ovulation rate of female mammals, or to induce sterility or reduced fertility in female mammals.
