    摘要: Coat color is important to the pig breeding industry for a number of reasons. It is therefore desirable to develop populations of pigs which will breed true for coat color. However, establishing such populations would be time-consuming and costly using traditional test mating programs. It is therefore desirable to determine the coat color genotype of individual pigs. The inventors have shown that the KIT gene in pigs is involved with coat color determination. Specifically, the inventors have discovered that the difference between the I, IP, and i alleles of the coat color determining gene is duplication of at least part of the KIT gene in the I and IP alleles. Further, the inventors have discovered that the difference between the I and IP alleles is that, although both I and IP have a duplication in the KIT gene, only I and not IP exhibits a deletion in one of the duplicated regions. These discoveries have allowed the inventors to develop methods for distinguishing between the alleles I, IP, and i, thereby determining the genotype of individual pigs with respect to coat color. In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods for determining the genotype of individual pigs with respect to coat color and kits for use in carrying out such methods.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding canine leukocyte integrin &bgr;-2 subunit having a Cys36Ser missense mutation, wherein the missense mutation is indicative of a carrier of canine leukocyte adhesion deficiency. The present invention also relates to a method for identifying dogs which are carriers of or are affected with canine leukocyte adhesion deficiency. This method includes obtaining a biological sample from a dog and testing the biological sample for a Cys36Ser missense mutation in a gene encoding leukocyte integrin &bgr;-2 subunit, wherein the missense mutation in one allele is indicative of a carrier of canine leukocyte adhesion deficiency and the missense mutation in both alleles is indicative of a dog affected with canine leukocyte adhesion deficiency.

    摘要: This document relates to methods and materials for determining whether or not a horse contains a Grey allele. For example, diagnostic methods such as nucleic acid-based detection methods and materials such as nucleic acid probes and primer pairs that can be used to determine whether or not a horse contains a duplication in intron 6 of STX17 nucleic acid are provided. This document also relates to methods and materials for treating a mammal having or being likely to develop cancer (e.g., benign, malignant, or metastatic cancer). For example, methods and materials for treating cancer in a mammal by administering an agent having the ability to reduce expression of an STX17 polypeptide and/or an NR4A polypeptide (e.g., an NR4A1, NR4A2, or NR4A3 polypeptide) in the mammal are provided.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods for predicting the pattern of locomotion in a horse including the ability of a horse to use different gaits and the ability to trot at a fast speed. The methods comprise determining in a sample of DNA obtained from a horse the presence or absence of at least one genetic marker, wherein said at least one genetic marker is located on horse chromosome 23, said marker being associated with the ability to use different gaits. The invention further provides primers that amplify markers being associated with the ability to use different gaits and hybridization probes to detect markers being associated with the ability to use different gaits and the ability to trot at a fast speed.
