Dna sequence polymorphisms in a panel of eight candidate bovine imprinted genes and their association with performance traits in irish holstein-friesian cattle
(Springer Nature, 2010-01-01)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 growth, ... -
Dna sequence polymorphisms within the bovine guanine nucleotide-binding protein gs subunit alpha (gsα)-encoding (gnas) genomic imprinting domain are associated with performance traits
(Springer Nature, 2011-01-01)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 ...
