Congenital pseudomyotonia in Chianina cattle is a muscle function disorder very similar to that of Brody disease in humans. Mutations in the human ATP2A1 gene, encoding SERCA1, cause Brody myopathy. The analysis of the collected Chianina pedigree data suggested monogenic autosomal recessive inheritance and revealed that all 17 affected individuals traced back to a single founder. A deficiency of SERCA1...
In an effort to increase the density of sequence-based markers for the horse genome we generated 9473 BAC end sequences (BESs) from the CHORI-241 BAC library with an average read length of 677 bp. BLASTN searches with the BESs revealed 4036 meaningful hits (E ≤ 10 −5 ) in the human genome that provide useful markers for the human–horse comparative map. The 4036 BLASTN hits allowed the anchoring...
A genetic linkage map of the horse consisting of 742 markers, which comprises a single linkage group for each of the autosomes and the X chromosome, is presented. The map has been generated from two three-generation full-sibling reference families, sired by the same stallion, in which there are 61 individuals in the F2 generation. Each linkage group has been assigned to a chromosome and oriented with...
We screened a porcine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and a P1 derived artificial chromosome (PAC) library to construct a sequence-ready ~ 1.2-Mb BAC/PAC contig of the ryanodine receptor-1 gene (RYR1) region on porcine chromosome (SSC) 6q1.2. This genomic segment is of special interest because it harbors the locus for stress susceptibility in pigs and a putative quantitative trait locus for...
