Cattle microsatellite clones (136) were isolated from cosmid (10) and plasmid (126) libraries
and sequenced. The dinucleotide repeats were studied in each of these sequences and …

This study was undertaken to determine the genetic structure, evolutionary relationships, and
the genetic diversity among 18 local cattle breeds from Spain, Portugal, and France using …

… As shown in Figure 3 (eg K = 3 and K = 4), results were in good agreement with above
observations with a clear separation of EUT, WAT and ZEB. In addition, increasing the number of …

Background The recent settlement of cattle in West Africa after several waves of migration
from remote centres of domestication has imposed dramatic changes in their environmental …

To guide genetic conservation programmes with objective criteria, general genetic variability
has to be taken into account. This study was conducted to determine the genetic variation …

To evaluate and compare the extent of LD in cattle, 1536 SNPs, mostly localized on BTA03,
were detected in silico from available sequence data using two different methods and …

To date, chronic wasting disease (CWD) is the most infectious form of prion disease affecting
several captive, free ranging and wild cervid species. Responsible for marked population …

The origin of Iberian cattle has been suggested by some authors to be the product of European
and north African cattle entrances during the last few thousands of years. However, these …

… Mutations at codon 142 (I/M), 154 (R/H), 211 (R/Q) and 222 (Q/K) were found to induce a
significant degree of protection towards natural scrapie infection. Compared with the baseline …

… Then, we used the likelihood model proposed by the FRAPPE’s EM algorithm [14] and
Admixture to estimate the fraction q jk of individual j’s genome assigned to the k populations (see …
