| polymorphisms of two y chromosome microsatellites in chinese cattle. | two y chromosome specific microsatellites umn2404 and umn0103 were genotyped and assessed for polymorphisms in a total of 423 unrelated males from 25 indigenous chinese cattle breeds. consistently, both microsatellites displayed specific indicine and taurine alleles in each bull examined. the indicine and taurine alleles were detected in 248 males (58.6%), and 175 males (41.4%), respectively, although these frequencies varied amongst different breeds examined. the indicine alleles dominated in t ... | 2006 | 16954044 |
