During the last ten years, the use of molecular markers, revealing polymorphism at the DNA
level, has been playing an increasing part in animal genetics studies. Amongst others, the …

Genome research in animals used in agriculture has progressed rapidly in recent years,
moving from rudimentary genome maps to trait maps to gene discovery. These advances …

Of the nonprimate mammalian species with developing comparative gene maps, the feline
gene map (Felis catus, Order Carnivora, 2N= 38) displays the highest level of syntenic …

We report a bovine linkage map constructed with 1236 polymorphic DNA markers and 14
erythrocyte antigens and serum proteins. The 2990-cM map consists of a sex-specific, X …

Mammalian sex determination is governed by the presence of the sex determining region Y
gene (SRY) on the Y chromosome 1. Familial cases of SRY-negative XX sex reversal are …

A medium-density linkage map of the ovine genome has been developed. Marker data for
550 new loci were generated and merged with the previous sheep linkage map. The new …

Genetic variation at 59 protein coding loci (16 polymorphic) and 25 microsatellite loci was
analysed for 11 indigenous south‐east Asian goat populations, and the Australian feral …

Two multiplex systems, each containing 11 microsatellite loci, were developed for semi‐
automated parentage testing in goats. Eight of the loci originate from goats, nine from cattle …

A total of 202 genes were cytogenetically mapped to goat chromosomes, multiplying by five
the total number of regional gene localizations in domestic ruminants (255). This map …

Abstract Background The goat (Capra hircus) represents one of the most important farm
animal species. It is reared in all continents with an estimated world population of about 800 …
