Animal breeding and disease [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 Single-locus disorders in domesticated animals were among the first Mendelian traits to be documented after the rediscovery of Mendelism, and to be included in early linkage maps. The use of linkage maps and (increasingly) comparative genomics has been central to the identification of the causative gene for single-locus disorders of considerable ...

Future trends in Animal Breeding due to new genetic tecnologies [PDF]
, 2011 The Darwin theory of evolution by natural selection is based on three principles: (a) variation; (b) inheritance; and (c) natural selection. Here, I take these principles as an excuse to review some topics related to the future research prospects in ...

Effect of Uniformity of Eggshell Thickness on Eggshell Quality in Chickens
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2014 Numerous parameters have been proposed to evaluate eggshell quality in order to reduce losses from damaged eggshells. The uniformity of eggshell thickness (UET), as a newly proposed parameter, is defined as the reciprocal of the coefficient of variation
