Authors: W.Q. Tian, H.C. Wang, F.B. Song, L.S. Zan, H. Wang, H.B. Wang, Y.P. Xin and J.A. Ujan
Qinchuan is a red or yellow draft and beef breed in China. In order to identify a predictor of carcass traits on the basis of associations between carcass traits and gene polymorphism, variation in the bovine chemerin gene was investigated using PCR-single-strand conformational polymorphism and DNA sequencing. An SNP of A868G .. Read More»

Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 gene (STAT3) associated with body measurement and carcass quality traits in beef cattle
Authors: N. Song, L.S. Gui, H.C. Xu, S. Wu and L.S. Zan
Previous studies have shown that the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 gene (STAT3) is involved in lipid storage and energy metabolism, suggesting that STAT3 is a potential candidate gene that affects body measurement and carcass quality traits in animals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify polymorphisms in bovine STAT3 and .. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure in a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) germplasm collection based on single nucleotide polymorphism markers
Authors: T. Wang, Q.D. Zou, S.Y. Qi, X.F. Wang, Y.Y. Wu, N. Liu, Y.M. Zhang, Z.J. Zhang and H.T. Li
Knowledge of genetic diversity is important to assist breeders in the selection of parental materials and in the design of breeding programs. In this study, we genotyped 348 inbred tomato lines, representing vintage and contemporary fresh-market varieties, by using 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); 45 of these were found to be polymorphic. The av.. Read More»

Myf5 and MyoG gene SNPs associated with Bian chicken growth trait
Authors: Y. Wei, G.X. Zhang, T. Zhang, J.Y. Wang, Q.C. Fan, Y. Tang, F.X. Ding and L. Zhang
The growth trait is important in poultry production. We analyzed the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Myf5 and MyoG gene and Bian chicken growth traits. SNPs in candidate genes of the Bian chickens were detected by the polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism method. Two mutation loci and six genot.. Read More»

Metagenomic study of single-nucleotide polymorphism within candidate genes associated with type 2 diabetes in an Indian population
Authors: P.N. Mukhopadhyaya, A. Acharya, Y. Chavan, S.S. Purohit and A. Mutha
A population-based study was undertaken to evaluate linkage between single-nucleotide polymorphisms known as risk factors and type 2 diabetes in an Indian population. The study population was comprised of 40 normal glucose-tolerant individuals (21 males and 19 females) and 40 type 2 diabetes patients (21 males and 19 females)... Read More»

We analyzed the polymorphisms TFAM HaeIII, TFAM MboI and FABP4 MspA1I in three Nellore lines selected for growth in order to evaluate how selection affects the frequencies of these polymorphisms and evaluate their association with growth and carcass traits in Zebu cattle. Birth, weaning and yearling weights, rump height, longi.. Read More»

Prospecting candidate SNPs for backfat in Canchim beef cattle
Authors: G.B. Veneroni, S.L. Meirelles, D.A. Grossi, G. Gasparin, A.M.G. Ibelli, P.C. Tizioto, H.N. Oliveira, M.M. Alencar and L.C.A. Regitano
Canchim is a composite cattle breed developed in Brazil for beef production. One of the breeding objectives is to increase fat deposition. QTLs for fat thickness and/or marbling have been reported on BTA4 and BTA14. The IGFBP3 and DDEF1 genes, mapped to BTA4 and BTA14, respectively, affect adipogenesis. We looked for SNPs in t..

A novel polymorphism of the lactoferrin gene and its association with milk composition and body traits in dairy goats
Authors: B.L. Guo, Y. Jiao, C. He, L.X. Wei, Z.H. Chang, X.P. Yue, X.Y. Lan, H. Chen and C.Z. Lei
Milk composition and body measurement traits, influenced by genes and environmental factors, play important roles in value assessments of efficiency and productivity in dairy goats. Lactoferrin (LF), involved in the efficient expression of protein in milk, is also an anabolic factor in skeletal tissue and a potent osteoblast s.. Read More»

Associated analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms found on exon 3 of the IGF-1 gene with Tibetan miniature pig growth traits
Authors: M. Yue, Y.G. Tian, Y.J. Wang, Y. Gu1, N. Bayaer, Q. Hu and W.W. Gu,
The IGF-1 gene is an important regulating factor that has a growth-promoting effect on growth hormone. The IGF-1 gene promotes muscle cell differentiation in the muscle cell formation process. The IGF-1 gene also regulates the growth of skeletal muscle during skeletal muscle growth. In addition, the IGF-1 gene plays an importa.. Read More»
