We have sought to test the possibility of detecting regions of the genome under selection through effects on variation at linked neutral genetic markers. Particularly, we investigated three genomic regions identified by mapping in a cross-bred pedigree as harbouring QTL for trypanosomiasis tolera...

Genetic diversity of sub-Saharan African goats was assessed using 19 microsatellite markers. Breeds were sampled from eastern Africa (Maasai, Kigezi, Mubende, North West Highland, Arsi Bale), southern Africa (Ndebele, Pafuri) and West Africa (West African Dwarf, Maure, Djallonke). European breeds...

The applicability of bovine autosomal micro-satellite markers for population genetic studies on African buffalo was investigated. A total of 168 microsatellite markers were tested for PCR amplification on a test panel of seven African buffalo. Amplification was observed for 139 markers (83 percen...

Usefulness of cattle microsatellite markers for amplification of polymorphic loci in Asian bovidae
Microsatellite loci are the markers of choice in pedigree analysis and population genetics studies. In closely related species, cross-species amplification of loci may be used instead of the cloning of loci. Previously, successful cross-species amplification of a set of cattle (Bos taurus) micros...

Genetic markers are being used by scientists worldwide in both animal and plant related breeding and Development efforts. The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) is a new institute formed in January 1995 by the amalgamation of the former ILCA (International Livestock Centre for Afri...

The origin of the American hair sheep is diverse with likely early introductions from the Canary Islands, followed by introductions from the African and European continents. Using 14 microsatellite loci, we studied 3 American hair sheep (St. Croix, Barbados Blackbelly, and Gulf Coast Native), 6 E...
