Microsatellite based genetic diversity and population structure of the endangered Spanish Guadarrama goat breed.

27 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Assessing genetic biodiversity and population structure of minor breeds through the information provided by neutral molecular markers, allows determination of their extinction risk and to design strategies for their management and ... Read more...

Conserved repertoire of orthologous vomeronasal type 1 receptor genes in ruminant species.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: In mammals, pheromones play an important role in social and innate reproductive behavior within species. In rodents, vomeronasal receptor type 1 (V1R), which is specifically expressed in the vomeronasal organ, is thought to detect ... Read more...

How does farmer connectivity influence livestock genetic structure? A case-study in a Vietnamese goat population.

5 Sep 2009 Assessing how genes flow across populations is a key component of conservation genetics. Gene flow in a natural population depends on ecological traits and the local environment, whereas for a livestock population, gene flow is driven by human ... Read more...
