Genome-wide association reveals the locus responsible for four-horned ruminant.

Animal genetics - 1 Apr 2016

Kijas James W, Hadfield Tracy, Naval Sanchez Marina, Cockett Noelle

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic variability in horn characteristics, such as their size, number and shape, offers the opportunity to elucidate the molecular basis of horn development. The objective of this study was to map the genetic determinant controlling the production of four horns in two breeds, Jacob sheep and Navajo-Churro, and examine whether an eyelid abnormality occurring in the same populations is related. Genome-wide...
