▪ Abstract Pseudogenes have been defined as nonfunctional sequences of genomic DNA
originally derived from functional genes. It is therefore assumed that all pseudogene …

Productivity in dairy cattle and buffaloes depends on the genetic factors governing the
production of milk and milk constituents as well as genetic factors controlling disease …

Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites has been proposed as a mechanism
maintaining genetic diversity in both host and parasite populations. In particular, the high …

Unlike most other large mammals, the Soay sheep population of Hirta in the St. Kilda
archipelago show persistent oscillations, sometimes increasing or declining by more than …

Infection with Ostertagia circumcincta is a major constraint on sheep production in temperate

Both archaeological data and the presence of few mitochondrial DNA lineages suggest that
most widespread domestic mammals (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and dogs) derive from only a …
