Y-chromosomal diversity in Europe is clinal and influenced primarily by geography, rather than by language.

Zoë H. Rosser, Tatiana Zerjal, +60 authors Mark A Jobling
American journal of human genetics
2000

Clinal patterns of autosomal genetic diversity within Europe have been interpreted in previous studies in terms of a Neolithic demic diffusion model for the spread of agriculture; in contrast,… (More)

A Sequence Polymorphism in MSTN Predicts Sprinting Ability and Racing Stamina in Thoroughbred Horses

E W Hill, Jingjing Gu, +6 authors David E. MacHugh
PloS one
2010

Variants of the MSTN gene encoding myostatin are associated with muscle hypertrophy phenotypes in a range of mammalian species, most notably cattle, dogs, mice, and humans. Using a sample of… (More)

Genome sequence, comparative analysis, and population genetics of the domestic horse.

Claire M. Wade, Elena Giulotto, +55 authors Kerstin Lindblad-Toh
Science
2009

We report a high-quality draft sequence of the genome of the horse (Equus caballus). The genome is relatively repetitive but has little segmental duplication. Chromosomes appear to have undergone few… (More)

Sensitivity to perspective structure while walking without vision.

John J. Rieser, D A Guth, E W Hill
Perception
1986

Experiments are reported of the nonvisual sensitivity of observers to their paths of locomotion and to the resulting changes in the structure of their perspectives, ie changes in the network of… (More)

A genome-wide SNP-association study confirms a sequence variant (g.66493737C>T) in the equine myostatin (MSTN) gene as the most powerful predictor of optimum racing distance for Thoroughbred…

E W Hill, Beatrice A. McGivney, Jingjing Gu, Ronan Whiston, David E. MacHugh
BMC Genomics
2010

Thoroughbred horses have been selected for traits contributing to speed and stamina for centuries. It is widely recognized that inherited variation in physical and physiological characteristics is… (More)

African pastoralism: genetic imprints of origins and migrations.

Olivier Hanotte, Daniel G Bradley, Joel W. Ochieng, Yasmin Verjee, E W Hill, J. Edward O. Rege
Science
2002

The genetic history of African cattle pastoralism is controversial and poorly understood. We reveal the genetic signatures of its origins, secondary movements, and differentiation through the study… (More)

History and integrity of thoroughbred dam lines revealed in equine mtDNA variation.

E W Hill, Daniel G Bradley, +4 authors Eithne Cunningham
Animal genetics
2002

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop sequences (381 bp) from 100 thoroughbreds in 19 of the most common matrilineal female families were used to reconstruct a founder female population for the… (More)

Estimating Scandinavian and Gaelic ancestry in the male settlers of Iceland.

Agnar Helgason, S Sigureth ardóttir, +7 authors Kári Stefánsson
American journal of human genetics
2000

We present findings based on a study of Y-chromosome diallelic and microsatellite variation in 181 Icelanders, 233 Scandinavians, and 283 Gaels from Ireland and Scotland. All but one of the Icelandic… (More)

Y-chromosome variation and Irish origins

E W Hill, Mark A Jobling, Daniel G Bradley
Nature
2000

Ireland's position on the western edge of Europe suggests that the genetics of its population should have been relatively undisturbed by the demographic movements that have shaped variation on the… (More)

A High Density SNP Array for the Domestic Horse and Extant Perissodactyla: Utility for Association Mapping, Genetic Diversity, and Phylogeny Studies

Molly E. McCue, Danika L. Bannasch, +19 authors James R. Mickelson
PLoS genetics
2012

An equine SNP genotyping array was developed and evaluated on a panel of samples representing 14 domestic horse breeds and 18 evolutionarily related species. More than 54,000 polymorphic SNPs… (More)
