The molecular regulation of horn growth in ruminants is still poorly understood. To
investigate this process, we collected 1019 hornless (polled) animals from different cattle …

The sex-determination cascade constitutes a model of the exquisite mechanisms of gene
regulation that lead to the development of mammalian embryos. The discovery of the sex …

Gonads are very peculiar organs given their bipotential competence. Indeed, early
differentiating genital ridges evolve into either of 2 very distinct organs: the testis or the …

The linkage maps of sheep and goats are strikingly disparate in terms of
comprehensiveness. Since its inception in 1995, the sheep linkage map has been regularly …
