Domestic animals as models for biomedical research.

Upsala journal of medical sciences - 1 Jan 2016

Andersson Leif

Abstract excerpt

Domestic animals are unique models for biomedical research due to their long history (thousands of years) of strong phenotypic selection. This process has enriched for novel mutations that have contributed to phenotype evolution in domestic animals. The characterization of such mutations provides insights in gene function and biological mechanisms. This review summarizes genetic dissection of about 50 genetic...
