Abstract excerpt
DNA sequence variation provides the fundamental material for improving livestock through selection. In cattle, single nucleotide polymorphisms and small insertions/deletions (collectively referred to here as SNPs) have been identified in cytokine genes and scored in a reference population to determine linkage map positions. The aim of the present study was twofold: first, to estimate the SNP frequency in a...
