Association of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the bovine leptin gene with feed intake, feed efficiency, growth, feeding behaviour, carcass quality and body composition
Download2004
Hansen, C., Murdoch, B., Guercio, S., Basarab, J. B., Moore, S. S., Meng, Y., Li, C., Nkrumah, J. D.
Leptin is a 16-kDa-hormone product of the obese gene synthesized and expressed predominantly by adipose tissues, which has been shown to play major roles in the regulation of body weight, feed intake, energy balance, fertility, and immune system functions. We report an investigation into the...

High resolution radiation hybrid maps of bovine chromosome 19 and 29 and comparison with the bovine genome sequence assembly
Download2007
Murdoch, B., Wang, Z., Stothard, P., Womack, J. E., Mckay, S. D., Moore, S. S., Schiex, T., Prasad, A.
Background High resolution radiation hybrid (RH) maps can facilitate genome sequence assembly by correctly ordering genes and genetic markers along chromosomes. The objective of the present study was to generate high resolution RH maps of bovine chromosomes 19 (BTA19) and 29 (BTA29), and...
