A mapping population segregating for egg quality traits was created by a line cross between
two egg layer lines and screened by a genome scan. The F2 generation consisted of 307 …

Genome scans for detection of bovine quantitative trait loci (QTL) were performed via
variance component linkage analysis and linkage disequilibrium single-locus regression …

A whole genome scan of Finnish Ayrshire was conducted to map quantitative trait loci (QTL)
affecting milk production. The analysis included 12 half-sib families containing a total of 494 …

An autosomal genome scan for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting milk production traits
was carried out on the Norwegian Dairy Cattle population. Six half-sibling families with a …

In addition to genetic progress made by selection on additive genetic values, short-term
gains can be produced by recovering possible inbreeding depression or utilising putative …

A whole-genome scan was conducted to search for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting
health traits in Finnish Ayrshire dairy cattle. The mapping population consisted of 12 bulls …

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (OLR1) is the major protein that binds, internalizes,
and degrades oxidized low-density lipoprotein. The role of OLR1 in lipid metabolism and the …

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping projects have been implemented mainly in the Holstein
dairy cattle breed for several traits. The aim of this study is to map QTL for milk yield (MY) …

Recent studies report a surprisingly high degree of marker-to-marker linkage disequilibrium
(LD) in ruminant livestock populations. This has important implications for QTL mapping and …

Among vertebrates, teleost fish exhibit a considerably wide range of sex determination
patterns that may be influenced by extrinsic parameters. However even for model fish …
