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

The aim of this article is not to present an exhaustive review of molecular cytogenetics
applications in domestic animal species, but more to illustrate the considerable contribution …

Abstract β-Defensin genes code for multifunctional peptides with a broad-range
antimicrobial activity. In this project we hypothesized that β-defensin genes may be …

A bovine artificial chromosome (BAC) library of 105 984 clones has been constructed in the
vector pBeloBAC11 and organized in 3-dimension pools and high density membranes for …

The past several years have witnessed remarkable progress in mammalian cloning using
nuclear transfer (NT). Until 1997 and the announcement of the successful cloning of sheep …

A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed by cloning HindIII-digested
high molecular weight DNA from a gynogenetic channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, into the …

Abstract Background Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is an important farmed marine food fish
species. Its first generation linkage map has been applied to map QTL for growth traits. To …

The CHORI-212 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed by cloning
Eco RI/Eco RI partially digested DNA into the pTARBAC2. 1 vector. The library has an …
