[ 1 ] - Novel Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in Two Oogenesis Specific Genes (BMP15, GDF9) and Their Association with Litter Size in Markhoz Goat (Iranian Angora)
BMP15 and GDF9 are two oogenesis specific genes play a pivotal role in female fertility in mammals and potential for improvement of prolificacy in marker-assisted selection. The aim of present research was to investigate the variation and association between BMP15 and GDF9 polymorphism and litter size in Markhoz goats. The sequence variability of the different amplified fragments utilized for g...
[ 2 ] - Microsatillate based Parentage Verification in Crossbred Sheep Herds
Parentage testing is an important tool in farm animals for genetically determining the accuracy of pedigree information. The objective of the current study was to implication of multiplexing 14 microsatellite markers for routine parentage testings. The twenty-four lambs were crossbred of Ghazel × Baluchi, Ghazel × Baluchi × Merinos, and Baluchi × Moghani × Merinos breeds. The genomic DNA was ex...
[ 3 ] - Lack of Association between Somatotropin Receptor Gene Polymorphism and Birth Weight of Iranian Indigenous Sistani Cattle
The objective of the present study was to determine polymorphism within the promoter region of somatotropin receptor genes in indigenous Sistani cattle (Bos indicus) and associations between this polymorphism and breeding value of birth weight. The pedigree structure was included by considering 1173 animals with 600 progeny birth weight data obtained from a Zhark breeding station in Sistan and ...
