The aim of this study was to establish whether the mobility of sperm of the domestic fowl, as
measured by an in vitro assay, predicted the outcome of sperm competition. Thirteen pairs of …

In our continuing efforts to document genetic diversity in Przewalski's horses and
relatedness with domestic horses, we report genetic variation at 22 loci of blood group and …

The conventional approach to evaluation of stallion semen dates back several decades, and
includes evaluation of spermatozoal concentration, semen volume, spermatozoon …

A first-generation radiation hybrid (RH) map of the equine (Equus caballus) genome was
assembled using 92 horse× hamster hybrid cell lines and 730 equine markers. The map is …

DNA microsatellites play a major role in population genetics, linkage mapping, and
parentage studies of mammals. In addition, they may be used for forensic purposes, if an …

The evaluation of the genetic structure of four native Norwegian horse breeds was
investigated using 35 genetic markers including nine biochemical loci and 26 …

Palaeolithic people commonly hunted Equus hydruntinus, an extinct species of equid whose
cursorial body proportions suggest an adaptation to semi-arid conditions. Despite the …

Two 3-generation full-sibling reference families have been produced and form a unique
resource for genetic linkage mapping studies in the horse. The F2 generations, now …

Ageing grey horses are particularly susceptible to melanoma. Using segregation analysis,
