- 1From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Carl Nettelblad1 Background Inference of haplotypes, or phasing, from genotype and pedigree data can be useful in several ways. For traditional linkage analysis, including QTL mapping, knowledge of...
- 2From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Hiroshi Shinozuka1,2 , Noel OI Cogan1,2 , German C Spangenberg1,2,3 and John W Forster1,2,3 Background Perennial ryegrass is a native species of Europe, temperate Asia and North Africa and is widely...
- 3From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Martin I Sigurdsson1,2 , Albert V Smith3 , Hans T Bjornsson4,5 and Jon J Jonsson1,2 Background Approximately 70% of CpG dinucleotides are methylated in the human genome [1]. Additionally, non-CpG...
- 4From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Dagmar NRG Kapell1 , Daniel Sorensen2 , Guosheng Su2 , Luc LG Janss2 , Cheryl J Ashworth3 and Rainer Roehe1 Background Recently, high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays for a broad...
- 5From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedBackground Citrus represents a substantial income for farmers in the Mediterranean Basin. However, the Mediterranean citrus industry faces increasing biotic and abiotic constraints. Therefore the breeding and...
- 6From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedBackground Accurate genetic maps are the cornerstones of genetic discovery, but their construction can be hampered by missing parental genotype information. Inference of parental haplotypes and correction of phase...
- 7From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genes at linked or independent loci can occur at gametic and zygotic levels known asgametic LD and zygotic LD, respectively. Gametic LD is well known for its roles in...
- 8From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Low cost genotyping of individuals using high density genomic markers were recently introduced as genomic selection in genetic improvement programs in dairy cattle. Most implementations of genomic...
- 9From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedBackground Contemporary dairy breeding goals have broadened to include, along with milk production traits, a number of non-production-related traits in an effort to improve the overall functionality of the dairy cow....
- 10From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground We previously established a congenic mouse strain with TALLYHO/Jng (TH) donor segment on chromosome 6 in a C57BL/6 (B6) background that harbors an obesity quantitative trait locus, tabw2. The B6.TH-tabw2...
- 11From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Slow-growing lines are widely used in France for the production of high quality free-range chickens. While such production is mainly dedicated to the whole carcass market, new prospects are opening up for...
- 12From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Chickens represent an important animal genetic resource for improving farmers' income in Africa. The present study provides a comparative analysis of the genetic diversity of village chickens across a...
- 13From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The exotic pepper species Capsicum baccatum, also known as the aji or Peruvian hot pepper, is comprised of wild and domesticated botanical forms. The species is a valuable source of new genes useful for...
- 14From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedAuthors: Andréia B Poletto [1]; Irani A Ferreira [1]; Diogo C Cabral-de-Mello [1]; Rafael T Nakajima [1]; Juliana Mazzuchelli [1]; Heraldo B Ribeiro [1]; Paulo C Venere [2]; Mauro Nirchio [3]; Thomas D Kocher [4]; Cesar...
- 15From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Kyung-Won Hong1 , Sanghoon Moon1 , Young Jin Kim1 , Yun Kyoung Kim1 , Dong-Joon Kim1 , Cheong-sik Kim1 , Sung Soo Kim1 and Bong-Jo Kim1 Background The ABO gene encodes isoforms for terminal...
- 16From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Adrenal gland of mice contains a transient zone between the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla: the X-zone. There are clear strain differences in terms of X-zone morphology. Nulliparous females of the...
- 17From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedBackground Identification of genomic regions that have been targets of selection for phenotypic traits is one of the most important and challenging areas of research in animal genetics. However, currently there are...
- 18From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedBackground For anurans, knowledge of 5S rDNA is scarce. For Engystomops species, chromosomal homeologies are difficult to recognize due to the high level of inter- and intraspecific cytogenetic variation. In an...
- 19From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human diet worldwide and the angular leaf spot (ALS) is one of the most devastating diseases of this crop, leading to yield losses...
- 20From: BMC Genetics. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Ming Yang1 , Bin Yang1 , Xueming Yan2 , Jing Ouyang1 , Weihong Zeng1 , Huashui Ai1 , Jun Ren1 and Lusheng Huang1 Background The genetic variability of pig genome has been shaped by many evolutionary...
