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 …

Background Modern cattle originate from populations of the wild extinct aurochs through a
few domestication events which occurred about 8,000 years ago. Newly domesticated …

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 …

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 …

In sheep, susceptibility to scrapie is mainly influenced by polymorphisms of the PrP gene. In
goats, there are to date few data related to scrapie susceptibility association with PrP gene …

Background The advent and democratization of next generation sequencing and genotyping
technologies lead to a huge amount of data for the characterization of population genetic …

Domestic species such as cattle (Bos taurus taurus and B. t. indicus) represent attractive
biological models to characterize the genetic basis of short‐term evolutionary response to …
