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 ...
Polymorphism discovery and allele frequency estimation using high-throughput DNA sequencing of target-enriched pooled DNA samples
(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 ...
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 ...
