For years, this old Hawaiian sugar town has been a respite for stoners, surfers and, according to many locals, a certain low-key breed of celebrities like Willie Nelson, the Doobie Brothers, Woody Harrelson and Kris Kristofferson.
Understanding the genetic diversity of these key sheep breeds in Australia is important to design and interpret studies that investigate genome-wide association and genomic prediction.
Key beef breeds in the United Kingdom grow from 750 g/days liveweight and produce carcases of 275 kg at 450+ days of age (Kempster and Southgate, 1984).
Such differences are most likely to occur in regions associated with quantitative traits rather than highly-visible, categorical traits like coat colour which are key for breed identification.
In this study, we investigated the anatomy of the thoracic duct where it joins the cardiovascular system, and its relationship to the other major anatomical structures at the thoracic inlet in Large White piglets (also known as the Yorkshire or Yorkshire-dominated piglets) - a key pig breed usually accessible in the pig industry in Victoria, Australia and a number of other countries in the world.
The key to breeding a Shiny Pokémon is to breed Pokémon from two different regions.
"The three key elements are breed, diet and curing".
We characterise genetically linked variants that potentially influence ear type and body mass in dog breeds, both key traits that have been modified by selective breeding that may also be important for domestication.
We identified modules of coexpressed genes, which corresponded to muscle phenotypes, and determined the hub genes responsible for the key functional distinctions between breeds.
Breed-specific modules that regulated muscle phenotype divergence were identified, and hundreds of hub genes with major roles in muscle development were determined to be responsible for key functional distinctions between breeds.
