DNA-based fingerprinting technologies have proven useful in genetic similarity studies.
RFLP is still most commonly used in the estimation of genetic diversity in plant species, but …

The status of genetic diversity, adaptation to climate change or the identification of genes
associated with traits of interest in livestock populations has been a major concern for …

DNA marker technology represents a promising means for determining the genetic identity
and kinship of an animal. Compared with other types of DNA markers, single nucleotide …

During the last decade, microsatellites (short tandem repeats or STRs) have been
successfully used for animal genetic identification, traceability and paternity, although in …

VanRaden, and HA Lewin. A genome scan for QTL influencing milk production and health …

The proportion of cows in the UK dairy herd whose sires were misidentified was estimated
using DNA markers. Genetic marker genotypes were determined on 568 cows (from 168 …

Who does not remember the genetic identification of the skeletons of the Romanov family or
the investigation of the putative clothing of the famous Kaspar Hauser? Those are highlights …

Two multiplex systems, each containing 11 microsatellite loci, were developed for semi‐
automated parentage testing in goats. Eight of the loci originate from goats, nine from cattle …

We propose the use of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) instead of polymorphic
microsatellite markers for individual identification and parentage control in cattle. To this …

Previous studies have indicated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the
diacylglycerol-O-acyltransferase1 (DGAT1), thyroglobulin (TG) and adipose fatty acid …
