New markers on bovine chromosome 1 are closely linked to the polled gene in Simmental and Pinzgauer cattle

In this study, four new markers located on bovine Chromosome 1 were tested for linkage with the polled condition in the Simmental and Pinzgauer breeds. The microsatellites INRA212 (D1S42) and the gene for keratin-associated protein 8 (KAP8) show significant linkage with polled at theta = 0.00 (Lod =...

Description
Summary:In this study, four new markers located on bovine Chromosome 1 were tested for linkage with the polled condition in the Simmental and Pinzgauer breeds. The microsatellites INRA212 (D1S42) and the gene for keratin-associated protein 8 (KAP8) show significant linkage with polled at theta = 0.00 (Lod = 6.92), and theta = 0.033 (Lod = 6. 52) respectively. The microsatellite INRA117 (D1S20) and the gene for interferon-alpha receptor (IFNAR) show maximum Lod scores of 2.1 and 1.8 at a recombination rate of zero.
