Repeat polymorphism analysis for examining genetic variability and the implications for specific traits in dog breeds.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variations of functional genes in various animal species have been previously examined to understand the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes. Repeat polymorphism can be found in not only coding sequences but also untranslated regions of the protein-coding genes, affecting gene regulation via a variety of mechanisms. In this respect, repeat polymorphisms including microsatellites, variable number...
