DNA samples from 307 males of 13 Portuguese native cattle breeds, 57 males of the 3 major
exotic breeds in Portugal (Charolais, Friesian, and Limousin), and 5 Brahman (Bos indicus) …

We herein report a detailed physical map of the horse Y chromosome. The euchromatic
region of the chromosome comprises≈ 15 megabases (Mb) of the total 45-to 50-Mb size …

In this study, we show how Y-specific interspersed multilocus microsatellites, which are loci
that yield several amplified bands differing in size from the same male individual and PCR …

Five cattle Y‐specific microsatellites, totalling six loci, were selected from a set of 44 markers
and genotyped on 608 Bos taurus males belonging to 45 cattle populations from Europe …

Y-chromosome genetic diversity in and around its domestication origin and a better
understanding of indicine-specific microsatellite alleles are imperative concerns but less …

As duas formas de gado, identificadas como taurinos e zebuínos, são basicamente
diferenciadas entre si pela ausência e presença de cupim ou giba. Os fetos com poucas …

Human activity has led to severe bottlenecks in many wildlife species in the recent past. This
usually increases the strength of genetic drift, leading to loss of genetic variation. Gene flow …

The aim of this study was the identification of the genetic diversity and paternal origin of
Peruvian creole cattle. A panel of 7 Y-chromosome specific markers (INRA189, UMN0103 …

Selection coefficients at the mammalian Y chromosome typically do not deviate strongly from
neutrality. Here we show that strong balancing selection, maintaining intermediate …

The aim of this study was to determine phylogenetic relationships of 6 native cattle breeds of
Turkey using 7 Y chromosome-specific microsatellite DNA markers. DNA samples were …
