The ovine callipyge locus: a paradigm illustrating the importance of non-Mendelian genetics in livestock.

Reproduction, nutrition, development - 1 Jan 1996

Georges M, Cockett N

Abstract excerpt

An inheritable muscular hypertrophy was recently described in sheep and shown to be determined by the callipyge (CLPG) gene mapped to ovine chromosome 18. We demonstrate in this work that the callipyge phenotype is characterized by a non-Mendelian inheritance pattern, referred to as polar overdom...
