Abstract excerpt
Segregation of polymorphic marker genes in a paternal half-sib family of Angus cattle was used to detect associations between genetic markers and quantitative traits. The half-sib family selected (n = 146) had a sire that was heterozygous at six polymorphic marker loci; BoLA-A (class I major histocompatibility complex), B, C and F blood group systems, serum transferrin and vitamin D binding protein. Segregation...
