From an extensive review of public domain information on dairy cattle quantitative trait loci
(QTL), we have prepared a draft online QTL map for dairy production traits. Most …

In recent years there has been considerable genetic progress in milk production. Yet,
increases in yield have been accompanied by an apparent lengthening of calving intervals …

Abstract Background Recently, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has rapidly emerged as a major
transcriptome profiling system. Elucidation of the bovine mammary gland transcriptome by …

This study was conducted to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting growth and beef
carcass fatness traits in an experimental population of Angus and Brahman crossbreds. The …

Background Milk production is an economically important sector of global agriculture. Much
attention has been paid to the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with …

Quantitative trait loci analyses were applied to data from Suffolk and Texel commercial
sheep flocks in the United Kingdom. The populations comprised 489 Suffolk animals in three …

Norway has a field recording system for dairy cattle that includes recording of all veterinary
treatments on an individual animal basis from 1978 onwards. Application of these data in a …

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 …

We report the identification and fine mapping of QTL for birth weight (BWT), preweaning
ADG (PWADG), and postweaning ADG on feed (ADGF) in a commercial line of Bos taurus …

Sons (n= 71 to 75) of each of six Holstein sires were genotyped at 69 microsatellite loci
covering a total of 676 cM on chromosomes 3, 5, 9, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 23, and 26. Estimates …
