DNA sequence polymorphisms in a panel of eight candidate bovine imprinted genes and their association with performance traits in Irish Holstein-Friesian cattle.
Magee, David A.; Sikora, Klaudia M.; Berowicz, Erik W.; Berry, Donagh P.; Howard, Dawn J.; Mullen, Michael P.; Evans, Ross D.; Spillane, Charles; MacHugh, David E. (BMC, 2010-10-13)Background: Studies in mice and humans have shown that imprinted genes, whereby expression from one of the two parentally inherited alleles is attenuated or completely silenced, have a major effect on mammalian ... -
DNA sequence polymorphisms within the bovine guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs subunit alpha (Gsα)-encoding (GNAS) genomic imprinting domain are associated with performance traits
Kikora, Klaudia M.; Magee, David A.; Berkowicz, Erik W.; Berry, Donagh P.; Howard, Dawn; Mullen, Michael P.; Evans, Ross D.; MacHugh, David E.; Spillane, Charles (BMC, 2011-01-11)Background: Genes which are epigenetically regulated via genomic imprinting can be potential targets for artificial selection during animal breeding. Indeed, imprinted loci have been shown to underlie some important ... -
Polymorphism discovery and allele frequency estimation using high-throughput DNA sequencing of target-enriched pooled DNA samples
Mullen, Michael P.; Creevey, Christopher J.; Berry, Donagh P.; McCabe, Matt S.; Magee, David A.; Howard, Dawn J.; Killeen, Aideen P.; Park, Stephen D.; McGettigan, Paul A.; Lucy, Matt C.; MacHugh, David E.; Waters, Sinead M. (BMC, 2012-01-11)Background: The central role of the somatotrophic axis in animal post-natal growth, development and fertility is well established. Therefore, the identification of genetic variants affecting quantitative traits within ... -
A population genomics analysis of the native Irish Galway sheep breed.
McHugo, Gillian; Browett, Sam; Randhawa, Imtiaz A. S.; Howard, Dawn; Mullen, Michael P.; Richardson, Ian W.; Park, Stephen D. E.; Magee, David A.; Scraggs, Erik; Dover, Michael J.; Correia, Carolina N.; Hanrahan, James P.; MacHugh, David E. (Frontiers Media, 2019-10)The Galway sheep population is the only native Irish sheep breed and this livestock genetic resource is currently categorised as ‘at-risk’. In the present study, comparative population genomics analyses of Galway sheep ...
