Mitochondrial DNA: an important female contribution to thoroughbred racehorse performance.

Mitochondrion - 1 Apr 2006

Harrison Stephen Paul, Turrion-Gomez Juan Luis

Abstract excerpt

The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule, carrying genes encoding for respiratory chain enzymes, is a primary candidate for demonstrating associations between genotype and athletic performance in mammalian species. In humans, variation at seven protein encoding mitochondrial loci has been implicated in influencing fitness and performance characteristics. Although thoroughbred horses are selected for racing ability,...
