Abstract Background SNP data of goats of three Mediterranean countries were used for population studies and reconstruction of geographical patterning. 496 individuals belonging to Italian, Albanian...
Analysis of BTA6 in Bruna Italiana and Pezzata Rossa cattle assayed with 2,535 SNPs (2009)
Ajmone-Marsan, Paolo, Marino, Rosanna, Perini, Davide, Sibella, Francesca, Nicolazzi, Ezequiel Luis, Pariset, Lorraine, ...
A high density SNP marker panel (54,000 SNPs) was used to investigate the genome of 775 Bruna Italiana and 493 Pezzata Rossa bulls. Observed and expected heterozygosities were calculated overall and...
Assessment of 29 candidate genes for milk traits in Italian dairy cattle (2009)
Pariset, Lorraine, Caroli, Anna, Chessa, Stefania, Fontanesi, Luca, Russo, Vincenzo, Bagnato, Alessandro, ...
Several investigations have recently searched for significant association between gene polymorphisms and milk traits in livestock and model species. In several cases, it remains rather difficult to...
A second generation radiation hybrid map to aid the assembly of the bovine genome sequence (2006)
Jann, Oliver C, Aerts, Jan, Jones, Michelle, Hastings, Nicola, Law, Andy, McKay, Stephanie, ...
Background: Several approaches can be used to determine the order of loci on chromosomes and hence develop maps of the genome. However, all mapping approaches are prone to errors either arising from...
Characterization of 37 Breed-Specific Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Sheep (2006)
Pariset, Lorraine, Cappuccio, Irene, Ajmone-Marsan, Paolo, Bruford, Michael, Dunner, Susana, Cortes, Oscar, ...
We identified 37 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in sheep and screened 16 individuals from 8 different sheep breeds selected throughout Europe. Population genetic measures based on the...

Geographic distribution of haplotype diversity at the bovine casein locus (2004)
Jann, Oliver C, Ibeagha-Awemu, Eveline M, Özbeyaz, Ceyhan, Zaragoza, Pilar, Williams, John L, Ajmone-Marsan, Paolo, ...
Abstract The genetic diversity of the casein locus in cattle was studied on the basis of haplotype analysis. Consideration of recently described genetic variants of the casein genes which to date...
The mystery of Etruscan origins: novel clues from Bos taurus mitochondrial DNA
Pellecchia, Marco, Negrini, Riccardo, Colli, Licia, Patrini, Massimiliano, Milanesi, Elisabetta, Achilli, Alessandro, ...
The Etruscan culture developed in Central Italy (Etruria) in the first millennium BC and for centuries dominated part of the Italian Peninsula, including Rome. The history of the Etruscans is at the...
Naderi, Saeid, Rezaei, Hamid-Reza, Pompanon, François, Blum, Michael G. B., Negrini, Riccardo, Naghash, Hamid-Reza, ...
The emergence of farming during the Neolithic transition, including the domestication of livestock, was a critical point in the evolution of human kind. The goat (Capra hircus) was one of the first...
The Multifaceted Origin of Taurine Cattle Reflected by the Mitochondrial Genome
Achilli, Alessandro, Bonfiglio, Silvia, Olivieri, Anna, Malusà, Arianna, Pala, Maria, Kashani, Baharak Hooshiar, ...
A Neolithic domestication of taurine cattle in the Fertile Crescent from local aurochsen (Bos primigenius) is generally accepted, but a genetic contribution from European aurochsen has been proposed....
