The present review is an attempt to signify the importance of heat shock proteins in livestock
adaptation during heat stress. The cellular and molecular responses in livestock are very …

Although it has been widely applied in identification of genes responsible for biomedically,
economically, or even evolutionarily important complex and quantitative traits, traditional …

A cattle database of candidate genes and genetic markers for milk production and mastitis
has been developed to provide an integrated research tool incorporating different types of …

Clinical mastitis (CM) is one of the health disorders with large impacts on dairy farming
profitability and animal welfare. The objective of this study was to perform a genome-wide …

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder
involving variations in the transcriptome of many genes. AD does not affect all brain regions …

Background The existence of a genetic basis for host responses to bacterial intramammary
infections has been widely documented, but the underlying mechanisms and the genes are …

Heat shock proteins (Hsp) are known to play major role in protection of cells from thermal
stress. Nucleotide polymorphisms within the promoter of Hsp affect degree of expression …

In Europe, especially in Mediterranean areas, the sheep has been traditionally exploited as
a dual purpose species, with income from both meat and milk. Modernization of husbandry …

Despite the wide range of observed phenotypic diversities and adaptation to different
ecological conditions, little has been studied regarding the genetics of adaptation in the …

Background Microarray transcript profiling has the potential to illuminate the molecular
processes that are involved in the responses of cattle to disease challenges. This …
