Polymorphism of the inhibin �²A gene and its relationship with superovulation traits in Chinese Holstein cows
Authors: W.C. Yang, S.J. Li, L. Chen and L.G. Yang
Inhibin is a major regulator of secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone, which is involved in follicular development and regulation of steroidogenesis in females. The objectives of this study were to detect polymorphisms of the bovine inhibin beta-A subunit (INHβA) gene and to evaluate its associations with superovulato.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel SSR markers in Siniperca kneri Garman
Authors: M. Yang, H.Z. Zheng, X.-F. Liang, C.X. Tian, Y.Q. Dou, K.C. Zhu and Y.C. Yuan
In this study, 37 transcriptome-derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 18 genomic SSR markers were developed and characterized in the Chinese perch, Siniperca kneri Garman. The average allele number per locus was 5.1 (range: 2-8) for transcriptome-derived SSRs and 3.8 (range: 2-5) for genomic SSRs. The avera.. Read More»
