Domestication of livestock species and a long history of migrations, selection and adaptation
have created an enormous variety of breeds. Conservation of these genetic resources relies …

Milk from domestic cows has been a valuable food source for over 8,000 years, especially in
lactose-tolerant human societies that exploit dairy breeds. We studied geographic patterns …

We used molecular markers to study genetic relationships in a diverse collection of 85
domestic dog breeds. Differences among breeds accounted for∼ 30% of genetic variation …

Tyrosine phosphorylation, regulated by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and kinases
(PTKs), is important in signaling pathways underlying tumorigenesis. A mutational analysis …

Multivariate analyses such as principal component analysis were among the first statistical
methods employed to extract information from genetic markers. From their early applications …

The thoroughbred (TB) horse is one of the oldest breeds of domestic animals, with pedigree
records spanning three centuries. Because the population is essentially closed, there is …

Blood samples were collected from 743 animals from 15 indigenous, 2 old imported, and 3
commercial North European cattle breeds. The samples were analyzed for 11 erythrocyte …

This study was undertaken to determine the genetic structure, evolutionary relationships,
and the genetic diversity among 18 local cattle breeds from Spain, Portugal, and France …

Background Indian agriculture is an economic symbiosis of crop and livestock production
with cattle as the foundation. Sadly, the population of indigenous cattle (Bos indicus) is …

India is one the world's five largest producers of livestock and poultry meat. The livestock
sector contributes 28% of the country's agriculture gross domestic product and about 5% of …
