Genetic diversity analysis of five cattle breeds native to China using microsatellites.
TLDR
The purpose of the present study was to examine genetic diversity among five native Chinese cattle breeds through examining microsatellite DNA polymorphisms and estimated the genetic differentiation and the genetic relationship within and between the five nativeChinese cattle breeds.Abstract:
Microsatellites have proved to be useful polymorphic markers for the analysis of genetic diversity. Microsatellite based studies in livestock have mainly concentrated on pig, cattle and sheep, and there are now more than a thousand cattle microsatellite markers to choose from (Barendse et al. 1994; Kappes et al. 1997). Genotyping of cattle can be done on most tissues and cell types, and international comparison tests under the auspices of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) to establish international standards exist. Awareness of the value of genetic resources in livestock has stimulated the study of the genetic diversity of native breeds. However most of such studies have been done on European cattle breeds and very little information is available concerning the genetic diversity of cattle breeds native to China. The purpose of the present study was to examine genetic diversity among five native Chinese cattle breeds through examining microsatellite DNA polymorphisms. We also estimated the genetic differentiation and the genetic relationship within and between the five native Chinese cattle breeds.read more

Sustainable improvement of animal production and health.
TL;DR: In this article, a short review of the role of nuclear and related techniques in resolving problems of livestock kept by the poor in developing countries, the author acknowledges previous reviews in this area which dealt with the use of these techniques in generating new information on the elaboration of metabolic pathways, in unraveling the complexity of disease transmission, in understanding feedbacks in the endocrine system in relation to reproductive and metabolic hormones, and in attenuating parasites for vaccine production.

Genomic Diversity in Pig (Sus scrofa) and its Comparison with Human and other Livestock
Chunyan Zhang,Graham Plastow +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, due to the long time of domestication, the pig possesses lower heterozygosity, higher FIS, and larger LD compared with human and cattle, which implies that a smaller effective population size and less informative markers are needed in pig for genome wide association studies.

Microsatellite-based characterization of Southern African domestic pigs ( Sus scrofa domestica )
TL;DR: A microsatellite-based study of genetic diversity on southern African pig populations suggested a true genetic structure with significant differentiation between most populations sampled, but with little differentiation among the commercial SA Landrace and Large White breeds.

Estimation of average heterozygosity and genetic distance from a small number of individuals
TL;DR: It is shown that the number of individuals to be used for estimating average heterozygosity can be very small if a large number of loci are studied and the average heter homozygosity is low.

Construction of a genetic linkage map in man using restriction fragment length polymorphisms.
TL;DR: A new basis for the construction of a genetic linkage map of the human genome is described, to develop, by recombinant DNA techniques, random single-copy DNA probes capable of detecting DNA sequence polymorphisms, when hybridized to restriction digests of an individual's DNA.

TL;DR: A cattle genetic linkage map was constructed which marks about 90% of the expected length of the cattle genome and shows as many differences in gene order compared to humans as is found between humans and mice.
