Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the growth hormone gene of Oreochromis niloticus and their association with growth performance
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-12-01)
Polymorphisms in the growth hormone (GH) gene that is associated with the growth rate of farmed fish have been the target of many breeding programmes. The present study aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Effects of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the leptin gene on the productive traits of dairy buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
(2013-08-01)
The gene responsible for coding the leptin hormone has been associated with productive and reproductive traits in cattle. In dairy cattle, different polymorphisms found in the leptin gene have been associated with several ...
Characterization of eight single nucleotide polymorphism markers in Aedes aegypti
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-01-01)
Sequencing of part of seven genes from Aedes aegypti collected in 16 Brazilian cities revealed the existence of 53 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), representing one SNP every 52 base pairs. From these 53 SNPs, we ...
Development and evaluation of a low-density single-nucleotide polymorphism chip specific to Bos indicus cattle
(2020-01-01)
Context: Genomic selection has been of increasing interest in the genetic improvement of Zebu cattle, particularly for quantitative traits that are difficult or expensive to measure, such as carcass traits and meat tenderness. ...
Polymorphisms in the ghrelin gene and their associations with milk yield and quality in water buffaloes
(2013-05-01)
Ghrelin is a gastrointestinal hormone that acts in releasing growth hormone and influences the body general metabolism. It has been proposed as a candidate gene for traits such as growth, carcass quality, and milk production ...
Analysis of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) multiplex markers related to sudden cardiac death in Brazilian families
(Funpec-editora, 2015-01-01)
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major public health concern worldwide, and genetic analysis may be useful in identifying the cause of death as well as in determining the possible genetic risk factors for SCD. This study ...
Report on the development of putative functional SSR and SNP markers in passion fruits
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Background
Passionflowers Passiflora edulis and Passiflora alata are diploid, outcrossing and understudied fruit bearing species. In Brazil, passion fruit cultivation ...
Development of new nuclear markers and characterization of single nucleotide polymorphisms in kelp gull (Larus dominicanus)
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
The present study seeks to develop nuclear markers for the kelp gull (Larus dominicanus). We hereby report the characterization of 12 independent nuclear introns, where 104 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 8138 ...
Alternative genotyping method for the single nucleotide polymorphism A2959G (AF159246) of the bovine CAST gene
(Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA), 2008-05-01)
O objetivo deste trabalho foi genotipar o polimorfismo de nucleotídeo único (single nucleotide polymorphism - SNP) A2959G (AF159246) do gene CAST bovino, pela técnica de PCR-RFLP, e reportar a sua utilização pela primeira ...
Polymorphisms in TOX and NCOA2 genes and their associations with reproductive traits in cattle
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-01-01)
Reproductive traits are an important component of the economic selection index for beef cattle in the tropics. Phenotypic expression of these traits occurs late because they are measured when the animals reach reproductive ...
