Understanding Genetic Linkage
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Genetic linkage is established by the use of common sires across herds. To compare animals from different environments, herds must have some performance recorded progeny from common animals (typically common sires), which are used to bench mark one herd against another. Genetic linkage is also important within a herd, to compare animals born in different years and raised in different contemporary groups. At the within herd level, link sires provide linkage between contemporary groups and dams can provide additional genetic linkage across years.

MOLECULAR STUDY OF PKD1 & PKD2 GENES BY LINKAGE ANALYSIS AND DETERMINING THE GENOTYPE/PHENOTYPE CORRELATIONS IN SEVERAL IRANIAN FAMILIES WITH AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE
ABSTRACT Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder with genetic heterogeneity. Up to three loci are involved in this disease, PKDI on chromosome 16p13.3, PKD2 on 4q21, and a third locus of unknown location. Methods: Here we report the first molecular genetic study of ADPKD and the existence oflocus heterogeneity for ADPKD in the Iranian populatio...
متن کاملContribution of GJB2 Mutations and Four Common DFNB Loci in Autosomal Recessive Non-Syndromic Hearing Impairment in Markazi and Qom Provinces of Iran
This study aimed to investigate the contribution of four common DFNB (“DFN” for deafness and “B” for autosomal resessive locus) loci and GJB2 gene mutations (exon 2) in hearing impairment in individuals living in Markazi and Qom provinces of Iran. Forty consanguineous Iranian families with at least three affected individuals in family or pedigree who suffer from an autosomal recessive non-syndr...
متن کاملLinkage Map Construction for Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) Based on Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Markers
The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, is of high commercial importance as a silk producer and is also widely used for implementation of basic and applied research. It is important to understand its genome organization using molecular markers for genetic studies and for breeding purposes. In this study, a genetic linkage map using 204 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers was d...
متن کاملMapping QTLs related to Zn and Fe concentrations in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) grain using microsatellite markers
Mineral nutrient malnutrition, particularly deficiency in zinc and iron, afflicts over 3 billion people worldwide. Biofortification of food crops is the best approach for conciliating the micronutrient deficiencies. Understanding the genetic basis of their accumulation is the preconditions for enhancing of these micronutrients. In our study, a mapping population of a set of 118 recombinant inbr...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of two Pakistani families with consanguineous localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis (LAH)
Objective(s): Genetic analysis of two consanguineous Pakistani families with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis was performed with the goal to establish genotype-phenotype correlation. Materials and Methods: Genomic DNA extraction had been done from peripheral blood samples. Extracted DNA was then subjected to PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for amplification. Linkage analysis was perf...
