Whole-genome resequencing reveals loci under selection during chicken domestication

Carl-Johan Rubin, Michael C. Zody, +16 authors Leif Andersson
Nature
2010

Domestic animals are excellent models for genetic studies of phenotypic evolution. They have evolved genetic adaptations to a new environment, the farm, and have been subjected to strong human-driven… (More)

Sequence and comparative analysis of the chicken genome provide unique perspectives on vertebrate evolution

Webb Miller, Ewan Birney, +67 authors Terrence S. Furey
Nature
2004

We present here a draft genome sequence of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus. Because the chicken is a modern descendant of the dinosaurs and the first non-mammalian amniote to have its genome… (More)

Multiple marker mapping of quantitative trait loci in a cross between outbred wild boar and large white pigs.

Sara A. Knott, Lena Marklund, +9 authors Leif Andersson
Genetics
1998

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of growth and fatness data from a three generation pig experiment is presented. The population of 199 F2 animals was derived from a cross between wild boar… (More)

A mutation in PRKAG3 associated with excess glycogen content in pig skeletal muscle.

Denis Milan, Jin Tae Jeon, +15 authors Leif Andersson
Science
2000

A high proportion of purebred Hampshire pigs carries the dominant RN- mutation, which causes high glycogen content in skeletal muscle. The mutation has beneficial effects on meat content but… (More)

Worldwide phylogeography of wild boar reveals multiple centers of pig domestication.

Greger Larson, Keith M Dobney, +10 authors Alan Cooper
Science
2005

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from 686 wild and domestic pig specimens place the origin of wild boar in island Southeast Asia (ISEA), where they dispersed across Eurasia. Previous morphological… (More)

Efficient mapping of mendelian traits in dogs through genome-wide association

Elinor K Karlsson, Izabella Baranowska, +17 authors Kerstin Lindblad-Toh
Nature Genetics
2007

With several hundred genetic diseases and an advantageous genome structure, dogs are ideal for mapping genes that cause disease. Here we report the development of a genotyping array with ∼27,000 SNPs… (More)

The 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase gamma3 isoform has a key role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in glycolytic skeletal muscle.

Brian R. Barnes, Stefan Marklund, +12 authors Leif Andersson
The Journal of biological chemistry
2004

5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic stress sensor present in all eukaryotes. A dominant missense mutation (R225Q) in pig PRKAG3, encoding the muscle-specific gamma3 isoform, causes… (More)

The origin of the domestic pig: independent domestication and subsequent introgression.

Elisabetta Giuffra, James MH Kijas, Valérie Amarger, Orjan Carlborg, Jin Tae Jeon, Leif Andersson
Genetics
2000

The domestic pig originates from the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa). We have sequenced mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genes from wild and domestic pigs from Asia and Europe. Clear evidence was… (More)

Cloning of highly polymorphic microsatellites in the horse.

Hans Ellegren, Madelene Johansson, Kaj Sandberg, Leif Andersson
Animal genetics
1992

We have isolated equine microsatellites by screening a genomic library with (TG)n and (TC)n probes. TG microsatellites were found to be more abundant than TC repeats, with an estimated frequency of… (More)

The abundance of various polymorphic microsatellite motifs differs between plants and vertebrates.

Ulf Lagercrantz, Hans Ellegren, Leif Andersson
Nucleic acids research
1993

The abundance of different simple sequence motifs in plants was accessed through data base searches of DNA sequences and quantitative hybridization with synthetic dinucleotide repeats. Database… (More)
