Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 genes are associated with milk production, body condition score and fertility traits in dairy cows.
(GMR, 2011-08-26)
The somatotrophic axis (GH-IGF) is a key regulator
of animal growth and development, affecting performance traits that
include milk production, growth rate, body composition, and fertility.
The aim of this study was to ...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) gene are associated with performance in Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle.
(Frontiers, 2011-02-16)
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been shown to be associated with fertility, growth,
and development in cattle. The aim of this study was to (1) identify novel single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in the bovine ...
DNA sequence polymorphisms within the bovine guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs subunit alpha (Gsα)-encoding (GNAS) genomic imprinting domain are associated with performance traits
(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 ...
