Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLR) are important cell-surface molecules mediating immune responses. Previous studies have identified TLR2 and TLR4 as potential candidate genes for disease resistance. In this study, dense linkage maps comprising single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been constructed for the chromosomal regions harbouring TLR2 and TLR4 on bovine chromosome 17 and 8. The most likely marker orders for...
