Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a sequencing of one individual or group of species by high-throughput sequencing technology, and analyses the sequence features by bioinformatics. The aim of WGS is exploring the evolution rule and screening functional genes in genome wide. It includes de novo and...

Cytokines play very important roles in the development of protective immune responses against a variety of pathogens. During the last decade rapid progress has been made in the cloning and characterization of cytokines from livestock and companion animals. However, no such work was carried out on...

Ovary and pituitary samples were collected from five non-prolific Tibetan goats and five prolific Jintang black goats in estrus, to clone and analyze sequences of INHA and INHBA cDNA by RT-PCR, and their mRNA expression levels were determined by real-time PCR. The result showed that the coding...

Copy number variation (CNV) might be one of the main contributors to phenotypic diversity and evolutionary adaptation in animals and plants, employing a wide variety of mechanisms, such as gene dosage and transcript structure alterations, to modulate organismal plasticity. In the past 4 years,...

This special issue contains topics on the genetics, genome mapping, chromosome analysis, cytogenetics, phylogenetics and molecular genetics of domestic animals.

This impressive compilation is the joint work of 20 different authors. The first volume deals with general subjects, such as the biological bases of animal breeding (by J. Szwemin), the fundamentals of animal physiology and animal nutrition (by Z. Ewy and S. Berger respectively), farm buildings and ...

THE following statistics show the number of livestock in Portugal in the year 1940: horses 80, 675; mules 121, 259; asses 239, 798; cattle 831, 674; sheep 3, 889, 875; goats 1, 196, 232; pigs 1, 176, 888. The general improvement in livestock production between 1870 and 1940 is more apparent than...
