The advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing techniques, array technology and protein
analysis has increased the efficiency of research in bovine muscle physiology, with the …

Cloning of mammals by nuclear transfer can lead to the birth of healthy adult animals but
more often compromises the development of the reconstructed embryos. A high incidence of …

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 …

The bovine genetic resources in China are diverse, but their value and potential are yet to
be discovered. To determine the genetic diversity and population structure of Chinese cattle …

Enormous genomic resources have been developed for plants in the monocot order Poales;
however, it is not clear how representative the Poales are for the monocots as a whole. The …

Availability of the complete genome sequence as well as high-density SNP genotyping
platforms allows genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in chickens. A high-density SNP …

Background During epidermal differentiation, keratinocytes progressing through the
suprabasal layers undergo complex and tightly regulated biochemical modifications leading …

Abstract Background Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is thought to have undergone one
extra round of genome duplication compared to zebrafish. Transcriptome analysis has been …

This study was designed to perform an association analysis and identify SNP markers
associated with production traits of Japanese quail using restriction-site-associated DNA …

Background After fertilization, embryo development involves differentiation, as well as
development of the fetal body and extra-embryonic tissues until the moment of implantation …
