Application of different banding techniques A variety of staining/banding techniques have been applied to analyze equine chromosomes. The ultimate goal of using these banding techniques was to exploit a range…
Noticeable lesions indicative of the disease generally appear at approximately 1.5 years of age (White et al., 2004; White et al., 2007). This means that HERDA-affected horses rarely show signs at birth…
Cream (C) is inherited as an incompletely dominant gene. In the heterozygous condition cream dilutes phaeomelanin from red to yellow, which results in palominos, buckskins, and smoky seal browns. Homozygotes…
There is an association with a vitamin E deficiency in cases of NAD/EDM, although low vitamin E levels are not present consistently in all cases. It appears that vitamin E…
Utility of the Beadchip for Mapping Simple Traits within Breeds As a proof of principle, mapping of three known coat color loci – the recessive chestnut coat color (MC1R) (Marklund,…
For instance, the Bayesian analysis of the mtDNA data combined partial sequences from three regions: D loop, 12S rRNA, and Cytb (2074 bp total; Figure 19.1a) from Genbank and recently…
In many ways, the alignment of ELA sequence with HLA demonstrated a great deal of organizational similarity and conserved synteny as expected (Gustafson et al., 2003). Sequence alignments also confirmed earlier…
Genetic analyses among foals at an age between 4 and 9 months and in 2-year-old horses demonstrated genetic correlations between the signs for osteochondrotic lesions in foals and OCD (joint…
Another common practice among those who sequence and assemble genomes is to make use of animals that have high homozygosity. The reason that this is desirable is to minimize the…
