Journal ArticleDOI

The Genome Sequence of Taurine Cattle: A Window to Ruminant Biology and Evolution

Christine G. Elsik, +328 more
- 24 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage and provides a resource for understanding mammalian evolution and accelerating livestock genetic improvement for milk and meat production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Survey of SNP Variation Uncovers the Genetic Structure of Cattle Breeds

Richard A. Gibbs, +103 more
- 24 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: Data show that cattle have undergone a rapid recent decrease in effective population size from a very large ancestral population, possibly due to bottlenecks associated with domestication, selection, and breed formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene-culture Coevolution Between Cattle Milk Protein Genes and Human Lactase Genes

TL;DR: Substantial geographic coincidence between high diversity in cattle milk genes, locations of the European Neolithic cattle farming sites and present-day lactose tolerance in Europeans suggests a gene-culture coevolution between cattle and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variation matters: TLR structure and species-specific pathogen recognition.

TL;DR: The current knowledge of species-specific TLR responses is summarized and it is discussed that vaccine efficacy in relevant host species might be improved by considering the species- specific TLR responds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiation hybrid mapping of all 10 characterized bovine Toll-like receptors

TL;DR: The mapping of all 10 characterized bovine TLR genes using a radiation hybrid panel is reported, finding that TLR1, TLR6 and TLR10 map closely together on Bos taurus chromosome 6 (BTA6), while TLR7 andTLR8 map to the X chromosome.
