Single nucleotide polymorphisms at the imprinted bovine insulin-like growth factor 2 ( igf2) locus are associated with dairy performance in irish holstein-friesian cattle
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2010-09-08)The imprinted insulin-like growth factor 2 gene (IGF2) encodes a fetal mitogenic hormone protein (IGF-II) and has previously been shown to be associated with performance in dairy cattle. In this study we assessed ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms within the bovine dlk1-dio3 imprinted domain are associated with economically important production traits in cattle
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-09-03)Previous studies show that DNA sequence variation within the mammalian DLK1-DIO3 imprinted domain influences production traits in domestic livestock, most notably the ovine callipyge phenotype. We assessed genotype-phenotype ...
