Characterization of Akirin 2 gene in Langshan chicken
Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2014 Akirin play an important role not only in innate immune response but also in skeletal myogenesis. The chicken’s Akirin gene family only has Akirin 2. We detected the coding sequences of the Akirin 2 gene in a Chinese indigenous chicken (Langshan chicken)

Factors influencing the efficiency of a marker-assisted introgression programme in Merino sheep
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2007 This study investigated a marker-assisted introgression programme in Australian Merino sheep. The goal was to introgress an allele with a large negative effect on fibre diameter into a Merino flock possessing medium average fibre diameter.

Efficiency of marker assisted selection
Animal Biotechnology, 1997 Abstract Genetic markers can be used in breeding programmes in a variety of ways. Here we emphasize marker assisted introgression in crossbred populations, and marker assisted selection in outbred populations. As marker typing costs reduce, the value of their use in a breeding programme will be dominated by returns rather than their costs.

Marker assisted selection ‐ an overview
Animal Biotechnology, 1994 Abstract The main force driving gene mapping in domestic animals, is the potential for using gene maps as a means of identifying and mapping the genetic loci responsible for genetic variation in traits of economic importance. The ultimate objective is utilizing this information for marker‐assisted selection (MAS) using DNA level polymorphisms.

Using marker-maps in marker-assisted selection
Genetical Research, 1995 SummaryA method of using information on the location of markers to improve the efficiency of markerassisted selection (MAS) in a population produced by a cross between two inbred lines is developed. The method is closer to mapping QTL than the selection index approaches to MAS described by previous authors.

The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Pearl millet is a staple food crop for millions of people living in the arid and semi-arid tropics. Molecular markers have been used to identify genomic regions linked to traits of interest by conventional QTL mapping and association analysis. Phenotypic
