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 ...
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 ...
A note on the use of FTA™ technology for storage of blood samples for DNA analysis and removal of PCR inhibitors
(Sciendo, 2009-01)
FTA™ technology is widely used across many molecular disciplines for sample
capture, storage and analysis. The use of this technology for the long-term storage
of blood samples for DNA analysis was examined as well as ...
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 ...
