Abstract excerpt
Previous studies show that DNA sequence variation within the mammalian DLK1-DIO3 imprinted domain influences production traits in domestic livestock, most notably the ovine callipyge phenotype. We assessed genotype-phenotype associations between 7 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the orthologous bovine DLK1-DIO3 domain and performance traits in 848 progeny-tested Holstein-Friesian dairy sires. One...
