The goat polled intersex syndrome (PIS) is a full association between the absence of horns and intersexuality. Several pairs of primer were designed to detect the complete or partial deletion of 11.7 kb fragment in PIS goat. We proved that the 11.7 kb fragment was not deleted completely but partially in PIS goat. The special 198 base substitutions were found between normal and PIS dairy goats, ...

We investigated the polymorphisms of PRLR and FOLR1 genes in Xinong Saanen, Guanzhong, and Boer goat breeds by DNA sequencing and PCR-RFLP. Two novel SNPs were identified: KC109741: g.62130C>T in the 3ꞌ-UTR of goat gene PRLR, and KC136296: g.7884A>C in exon 3 of goat gene FOLR1. In the three goat breeds, the polymorphism information content was 0.20-0.27 at the g.62130C>T locus. At the g.7884A>...

The genetic diversity was studied using microsatellite DNA markers in Laoshan dairy goat (LS), Xinong Saanen dairy goat (SN), Guanzhong dairy goat (GZ), Banjiao goat (BJ) and Guizhou white goat (GW). Within the nine polymorphic loci, allele frequencies, number of effective alleles (Ne), heterozygosity (He), polymorphism information content (PIC), genetic identity (I) and Nei’s standard genetic ...

Keyword-based linked data information retrieval is an easy choice for general-purpose users, but the implementation of such an approach is a challenge because mere keywords do not hold semantic information. Some studies have incorporated templates in an effort to bridge this gap, but most such approaches have proven ineffective because of inefficient template management. Because linked data can...

Recent advances in reproductive endocrinology and physiology of mammals, molecular biology and genetic engineering have enhanced the expansion of the field of animal reproductive biotechnology. To date, many reproductive techniques have been applied in livestock animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs. Nevertheless, the application of such techniques is still limited in goat. This paper aims to ...

The c-kit protein plays a major role in the regulation of germ cell development. Its expression and distribution in rodent testes have been widely reported. However, research regarding c-kit expression in domestic animals is scarce, and the expression pattern and distribution of c-kit in germ cells have not been clearly defined. In this study, a specific antigenic region for goat c-kit was desi...
