Characterization of DNA polymorphisms in three populations of hereford cattle and their associations with growth and maternal EPD in line 1 herefords.

Abstract excerpt

Three populations of Hereford cattle differing in inbreeding levels and genetic potential for growth were genotyped for seven DNA polymorphisms. The populations were compared to determine differences in allele frequency and genetic variation. Significant differences in allele frequency among the populations were found at six of the seven polymorphisms genotyped, and average genetic variation differed as expected...
