Moreover, a definition of haplotype structure in different breeds or breeding populations can be exploited to reveal associations with far fewer individuals than is required in a human study.
Such differences in the elimination rate of phenobarbital in different breeds of dogs have to be considered when treating dogs with this drug.
Seroprevalence of Cryptosporidium infection in different breeds varied from 0 to 15.39%, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05) (Table 2).
However, a study in dogs compared the percentage of the brain occupied by the cerebellum in different breeds with different skull types and found no significant differences between the breeds [ 19].
However, genetic variations in different breeds with similar production aptitudes and similar phenotypes can be related to differences in their selection history.
Before such marker information can be used in breeding programmes, it is important that unbiased and independent validation studies in different breeds are carried out to establish whether observable effects are found in the breed/population under selection.
However, the effectiveness of Ovsynch in different breeds of dairy cows has not been previously compared.
Thus, progressive retinal atrophy, a form of hereditary blindness, is caused in different breeds by a mutation to any one of at least seven different genes, according to Dr. Gustavo Aguirre, a professor of ophthalmology at Cornell's Baker Institute.
Tolkamp, B., Wall, E., Roehe, R., Newbold, J. & Zaralis, K. Review of Nutrient Efficiency in Different Breeds of Farm Livestock (UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, 2010).
Missouri-Columbia's Taylor plans to characterize the genetic variation in different breeds of cattle, creating a bovine map that's much like the human HapMap released last year, which mapped the genetic diversity of people from all over the world (see "A New Map for Health").
The purpose of this study was to develop a FRET-based dual probe melting temperature assay to identify the alleles present within an individual dog and to use this assay to determine the frequency of the four allelic variants in different breeds within the canine population.
