DNA sequence polymorphisms in a panel of eight candidate bovine imprinted genes and their association with performance traits in Irish Holstein-Friesian cattle.
(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 ...
Associations between the K232A polymorphism in the diacylglycerol-O-transferase 1 (DGAT1) gene and performance in Irish Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle
(Teagasc, 2010)
Selection based on genetic polymorphisms requires accurate quantification of the
effect or association of the polymorphisms with all traits of economic importance.
The objective of this study was to estimate, using progeny ...
