Genetic Selection Using Genetic Markers
With recent advancements in biotechnology, genetic selection of beef cattle has entered the 21st century. Cattle producers now have the ability to assess the genetic makeup of an individual animal through the use of genetic markers. Using a tissue sample (hair, blood, muscle, etc.), cattle can be tested to see if they carry certain genes and whether the allelic combinations within the gene will...
متن کاملSelection for genetic markers in beef cattle reveals complex associations of thyroglobulin and casein1-s1 with carcass and meat traits.
Genetic markers in casein (CSN1S1) and thyroglobulin (TG) genes have previously been associated with fat distribution in cattle. Determining the nature of these genetic associations (additive, recessive, or dominant) has been difficult, because both markers have small minor allele frequencies in most beef cattle populations. This results in few animals homozygous for the minor alleles. selectio...
متن کاملStrategies for fine-mapping complex traits
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of robust and replicable genetic associations for complex disease. However, the identification of the causal variants that underlie these associations has been more difficult. This problem of fine-mapping association signals predates GWAS, but the last few years have seen a surge of studies aimed at pinpointing causal variants usi...
متن کاملSelection of appropriate genetic markers to investigate kinship using DNA typing: A case report
Introduction: Genetic identification is now a standard and efficient method for identifying individuals and investigating claimed kinship cases. Commercial kits based on autosomal STR and YSTR genetic markers are widely used for these investigations. Case Report: Two men were introduced by a judicial authority for genetic testing to identify and issue birth certificates for these individual...
متن کاملAssessment of the Genetic Diversity of Almond (Prunus dulcis) Using Microsatellite Markers and Morphological Traits
The genetic diversity among 56 almond (Prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. Analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. Out of 35 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. R...
