Statistical associations between restriction fragment length polymorphisms and quantitative traits in beef cattle
Article Abstract:
Six hundred seventy-seven animals selected from inbred lines, and half-sib families were studied to determine the quantitative effects associated with five marker-loci obtained from restriction fragment length polymorphisms. There were statistically significant findings for birth weight as a maternal trait but not for shoulder width upon assumption of adaptivity of gene action. However, when dominance relationships were considered, birth shoulder width became significant. The results of the study were mainly statistical associations. The need for larger numbers of observations and data to assure validity was pointed out.

Rapid communication: Detection and mapping of polymorphisms in the bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO) gene and in the glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion molecule 1 (GlyCAM1) gene using fluorescent single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis
Article Abstract:
The detection and mapping of polymorphisms in the bovine lactoperoxidase gene and in the glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion molecule 1 gene are presented. Probing was done by using fluorescent single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis. The source and description of probe, primer sequences, methods of detection, description of polymorphism, inheritance pattern, allele frequencies and chromosomal location are discussed.

Rapid communications: single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) of bovine tumor necrosis factor alpha
Article Abstract:
Bovine genomic DNA was amplified using a previously identified sheep cDNA sequence of bovine tumor necrosis factor alpha. The 680-bp fragment amplified was then sequenced and cloned. A 414-bp putative intervening sequence was observed in the clone. Polymorphism description, inheritance pattern, chromosome location, primer sequence and method of detection are provided.
